Properties of some gas mixtures used in tracking detectors
نویسنده
چکیده
This report summarizes some useful data on the transport characteristics of gas mixtures which are required for detection of charged particles in gas detectors. The requirements for high luminosity tracking are stringent and different at low and high momenta, representing a compromise between a fast gas mixture, small diffusion properties and having a small Lorentz angle, but high primary ionization. With the advent of a host of computing programs available the transport parameters are rather well estimated and corroborated by experiment. Mixtures of some noble gases with popular quenchers are considered, with some emphasis on low mass gases. Pure noble gases for example argon and xenon are also presented with single photon detection and medical imaging applications in view respectively.

Pulse height measurements and electron attachment in drift chambers operated with Xe,CO2 mixtures
We present pulse height measurements in drift chambers operated with Xe,CO2 gas mixtures. We investigate the attachment of primary electrons on oxygen and SF6 contaminants in the detection gas. The measurements are compared with simulations of properties of drifting electrons. We present two methods to check the gas quality: gas chromatography and Fe pulse height measurements using monitor dete...

The aim of this paper is to design, manufacture and test the first triple RETGEM detector. Using resistive electrode in RETGEM detectors made them more robust against the electrical discharge with respect to THGEM detectors. However, even these robust detectors are not protected against electrical discharge at gains higher than 105. Studying the role of dimensions of the triple RETGEMS detector...
متن کاملPredicting the Liquid Density of Gas Condensates and LNG Mixtures from Equations of State
In this contribution, two approaches are followed to predict the saturated liquid density of liquefied natural gas (LNG) mixtures. In one approach, 12 cubic equations of state (EoSs), comprising the popular Peng-Robinson (PR) and Redlich-Kwong-Soave (RKS), are employed to predict the saturated liquid density of 20 LNG mixtures. In the other approach, these EoS are used in conjunction with a rec...

متن کاملElectron attachment , effective ionization coefficient , and electron drift velocity for CF 4 gas mixtures
For tracking in a SSC experiment with wire chambers, CF 4 gas mixtures are very advantageous from the point of view of aging, drift velocity, and spatial resolution. However, they are also known to suffer from considerable electron attachment. This attachment can cause serious inefficiencies in the collection of electrons liberated near the anode wire, and causes broadening of the pulse-height ...
