Microchannel electron multipliers are simulated using the Monte Carlo method. Gains of secondary electrons are calculated for different structures of the electron multiplier. For a tilted cylindrical channel of the electron multiplier the gain has a maximum at a tilt angle. The maximum gain is about a thousand times larger than that of the not-tilted channel. An explanation is suggested for the improvement of gain in the tilted channel. @FootnoteText@ @footnote 1@This work was supported by the Korean Ministry of Science and Technology through the Creative Research Initiative program.
