Radiation Aging Studies of Co2 Hydrocarbon Mixtures for the Sld Drift Chamber*
The SLD drift chamber requires a ‘slow’ drifting gas and low diffusion to allow wave form digitization. CO2 provides this but requires an admixture of a quencher to provide more gain. _ A test chamber with an 8 sense wire cell, such as will appear in the final chamber, was exposed to an X-ray tube while containing a variety of binary admixtures of COz: 8% isobutane, 8% ethane, and 2% isopropano...
متن کاملPerformance of the SLD Central Drift Chamber
We reportfor thefirsttimeon theperformanceof theSLD Central Drift Chamber (CDC) at SLC, which has been recordingdatasince 1992. The low mass of the chamber and the use-of a gas characterized by both a low drift velocity and low diffusion constant help to minimize the drift-distance measurement errors. We describe some of the calibrations and corrections applied to the dam, and report on the res...
متن کاملBaBar drift chamber aging study
In order to obtain a reliable estimate of the lifetime of the BaBar drift chamber, a dedicated aging test chamber has been constructed. The working gas mixture is Helium/Isobutane (80/20). After accumulating up to 0.11C/cm charge dose the anode wire showed no appreciable signs of aging, but the field wires showed a small Malter effect. At 0.2C/cm the gas gain dropped B6–9% and the Malter effect...
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 کاملNew Drift Chamber for - the Mark Ii
A new cylindrical drift chamber is being constructed for the Mark lI detector for use at the new SLAC Linear Collider. The design of the new chamber is based on a multi-sensewire cell of the jet-chamber type. In addition to driitime measure men@ pulse height measurements from the sense wires will provide electron-hadron separation by dE/dz. The design and construction of the chamber, tests of p...
