New Drift Chamber for - the Mark Ii
نویسنده
چکیده
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 prototypes, and chamber electronics are discussed.

The Marx Ii Secondary Vertex Detector*
We have added a high precision drift chamber to the Mark II detector at PEP. The design of the device has been optimized for measuring vertex topologies as accurately as possible. This has involved placing wires within 10 cm of the beam line, using a beryllium beam pipe as the inner gas wall of the chamber, and improving the accuracy of the drift-time measurement. The chamber operates reliably ...
متن کاملRecent Results from the Mark Ii Experiment+
The Mark II experiment first started taking data in 1978 at the SLAC SPEAR storage ring. It was the first e+edetector with a large, many layer cylindrical drift chamber (CDC) and a large liquid argon calorimeter!” After two years at SPEAR, it was moved to the PEP storage ring, where it was upgraded a year later with a seven layer precision vertex drift chamber!’ located between the CDC and the ...
متن کاملParticle Identification Using De/dx in the Mark Ii Detector at the Slc*
The central drift chamber in the Mark II detector at the SLAC Linear Collider has been instrumented with loo-MHz Flash-ADCs. Pulse digitization provides particle identification through the measurement of average ionization loss in the chamber. We present the results of a study of system performance and outline the systematic corrections that optimize resolution. The data used are from a short t...
متن کاملRetractable Carbon Fibre Targets for Measuring Beam Profiles at the SLC Collision Point*
. Retractable targets of carbon fibres with nominal diameters 30, 7 and 4.5 micron have been in use at the collision point of the SLC (the SLAC Linear Collider). The target mechanism is compatible with the Mark II detector now in place at the collision point. Beam profiles are measured in horizontal and vertical axes by using magnetic dipoles to scan the beams across the fibres. Two signal dete...
متن کاملNew Coated Graphite Potentiometric Sensor for Selective Determination of Copper (II) Ions
A highly selective copper (II) coated graphite sensor was prepared by 1,13-bis(8-quinolyl)- 1,4,7,10,13-pentaoxatridecane (kryptofix 5) as a supramolecule ionophore into plasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC) membrane. The best response characteristic was observed using the membrane composition of PVC = 30.0 mg, dioctyl sebacate (DOS) = 63.5 mg, palmitic acid (PA) = 3.0 mg and kryptofix 5 = 3.5 m...
