The Performance of the Barrel CRID at the SLD; Long-term Operational Experience
نویسنده
چکیده
The Barrel CRID detector has been operating successfully at SLD for the past 7 years. It is an important tool for SLD physics analyses. We report results based on long term operational experience of a number of important quantities such as the Cherenkov quality factor, No, of the device, fluid transparency, electron lifetime, single electron detection efficiency, anode wire ageing,TMAE purity, long term stability of the gas refraction index, liquid radiator transparency, Cherenkov angle resolution and the number of photoelectrons observed per ring.

متن کاملSingle Electron Detection in Quadruple-GEM Detector with Pad Readout
Using a system of four GEMs operating in tandem and coupled to pad readout, we have demonstrated the detection of single electrons in ethane at 1 bar. The paper presents measurements of single electron pulse height distributions, total gas gain measurement and calculation, pad-to-pad cross-talk, quenching capability, high rate capability, charging effects, etc. We describe the overall operation...

متن کاملExtrapolating Experience Gained with the Sld Detector to Higher Energy And/or Luminosity
The operation of the SLD detector at the SLC, the only existing high energy linear col-lider, is a good place to address the question of the feasibility of operating a sophisticated cylindrical geometry detector in a high energy and/or luminosity environment. Performance aspects of the SLD relevant to this question are presented, along with a qualitative discussion about the extrapolation to hi...
