Two New Parallel-plate Ionization Chambers for Electron Beam Dosimetry
-Two parallel-plate ionization chambers were projected, constructed and evauated for use in high energy electron beams. They were constructed using the two plastic materials recommended for clinical dosimetry protocols, i.e. acrylic and polystyrene. Both chambers have cylindrical shape with entrance windows in aluminized Mylar and they are open to the air. The acrylic chamber has a 2 mm air gap...
متن کاملResistive Plate Chambers in ATLAS
The ATLAS first level muon trigger is based, in the rapidity region ( v ( 5 1.05, on fast and finely segmented gaseous detectors, Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs) . A prototype of a small scale RPC trigger tower has been assembled and tested. We present results on efficiency, time resolution, cluster size and collected charge. The detectors, filled with a non-flammable and environment-safe gas m...
متن کاملModel of high current breakdown from cathode field emission in aged wire chambers ∗ +
Observing single electron pulses provides insight into the mechanism that leads to sudden high current jumps (breakdown) in aged wire chambers. This single electron activity is found to be consistent with the Fowler-Nordheim equation for field emission of electrons from a cathode surface in a high electric field. The high electric field arises from the positive ion buildup on a very thin insula...
متن کاملInduced signals in resistive plate chambers
We derive theorems for induced signals on electrodes embedded in a medium with a position and frequencydependent permittivity eð~x; sÞ and conductivity sð~x; sÞ that are connected with arbitrary discrete elements. The problem is treated using the quasi-static approximation of Maxwell’s equations for weakly conducting media. The induced signals can be derived by time-dependent weighting fields a...
متن کاملSpace Charge Effects in Resistive Plate Chambers
We extend an existing one dimensional simulation model for avalanche mode RPCs by the inclusion of diffusion and space charge effects. We investigate the influence of space charge on charge spectra, signal rise time, time resolution and charge-to-time correlation. We present a 1.5-dimensional model, which allows fast simulation of events and a two dimensional model that is slower but allows to ...
