Calibration of the STAR Forward Time Projection Chamber with Krypton-83m
The principles of the calibration of a time projection chamber with radioactive Krypton83 are explained. The calculation of gain correction factors and the methods of obtaining a precise energy calibration are illustrated. The properties and advantages of Kr are summarized and compared to other radioactive calibration sources. It was shown that the Krypton calibration for the STAR FTPC is feasi...
متن کاملThe TESLA Time Projection Chamber
TESLA (TeV-Energy Superconducting Linear Accelerator) is an ee linear Collider designed to operate in the energy range beyond the mass of the Z and up to the TeV region. If approved, TESLA would allow a wide physics program, focusing among other things on precision tests of the established Standard Model, the Higgs mechanisms and the discovery of new particles. To optimally exploit the physics ...
متن کاملCommissioning of the ALICE Time Projection Chamber
The TPC is the central detector of the CERN-LHC experiment ALICE. It is the largest TPC ever built with a gas volume of ~90 m and 557568 readout channels. The LHC is scheduled to commence operation in 2007 with pp-collisions. Before installation underground inside the ALICE L3 magnet, the TPC including its auxiliary systems and services, i.e., gas system, temperature monitoring system, drift ve...

Two cylindrical forward TPC detectors are described which were constructed to extend the phase space coverage of the STAR experiment to the region 2.5 < |η| < 4.0. For optimal use of the available space and in order to cope with the high track density of central Au+Au collisions at RHIC, a novel design was developed using radial drift in a low diffusion gas. From prototype measurements a 2-trac...
متن کاملThe 10bar hydrogen time projection chamber of the MuCap experiment
The experimental goal of the MuCap experiment at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) is a high-precision measurement of the singlet capture rate of the nuclear muon capture on the free proton in the reaction m þp-nþnm. The measuring principle is a lifetime measurement whereas the experimental approach is based on a specially developed Time Projection Chamber (TPC) operating with ultra-pure and de...
