This study presents an analytical model describing saturation effects in microchannel plates (MCPs) as influenced by electric field variations and initial photoelectron current. Key parameters such as gain, initial current (Io), and resistance current (Ir) are analyzed using mathematical formulas. Important findings highlight the relationship between electric field distribution and gain variations at specific relaxation times (τ). The model uses parameters like D=20µm, L/D=40, and U=1kV, facilitating an in-depth understanding of MCP behavior under different operational conditions.
