The straw tube detectors in the PANDA experiment will work in high particle fluxes reaching up to 25 kHz/cm2. We performed measurement of the gas gain drop in the PANDA straws due to the space charge effect expected at the high particle fluxes. The applied experimental method and obtained results are presented and are compared with calculations of the gas gain drop based on known mobility of positive ions.
