Investigation of operation of a parallel,plate avalanche chamber with a CsI photocathode under high gain conditions
We report results of a systematic study of the operational characteristics of a single-step parallel-plate avalanche chamber with CsI photocathode under high-gain conditions at room temperature and 1 atm pressure. Different mixtures of He and Ar with hydrocarbons were tested, as well as with ethylferrocene vapor which are known to form an adsorbed photosensitive layer on the Csl photocathode. T...
متن کاملPerformance of a Time-Projection-Chamber with a Large-Area Micro-Pixel-Chamber Readout
A micro time-projection-chamber (micro-TPC) with a detection volume of 23×28×31 cm was developed, and its fundamental performance was examined. The micro-TPC consists of a micro pixel chamber with a detection area of 31×31 cm as a two-dimensional imaging device and a gas electron multiplier with an effective area of 23×28 cm as a pre-gas-multiplier. The micro-TPC was operated at a gas gain of 5...
متن کاملThe BaBar Drift Chamber
The central drift chamber for the BaBar detector at the PEP-II Bfactory at SLAC is a cylindrical chamber with a length of 280 cm and outer radius of 81 cm. It consists of 40 layers of small hexagonal cells arranged in 10 axial and stereo super-layers. In order to minimize multiple scattering, light materials are used for the mechanical structure, and the gas mixture is Helium based. The pulse-h...
متن کاملChamber Spectrometer with a Capacitor Memory and Fet Readout
A 20-plane wire chamber spectrometer utilizing capacitors as memory elements and suitable for operation in a magnetic field is described. The (parallel) wire planes are separated by N 1 cm. The active areas of the chambers range in size from 120 X I20 cm2 t0 200 x 240 cm2, The wire separation is 1 mm. Each readout wire is connected to a separate capacitor resulting in a 30 K-bit memory for the ...
متن کاملDevelopment of a straw tube chamber with pickup-pad readout
We have developed a straw tube chamber with pickup-pad readout. The mechanism for signal pickup, the size of the pickup signal, and the distribution of signals among neighboring pads are discussed. We have tested a prototype chamber in a beam test at Brookhaven National Laboratory and have measured chamber e$ciencies in excess of 99%. ( 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
