A comprehensive study of rate capability in Multi - Wire Proportional Chambers
نویسندگان
چکیده
Systematic measurements on the rate capability of thin MWPCs operated in Xenon, Argon and Neon mixtures using CO 2 as UV-quencher are presented. A good agreement between data and existing models has been found, allowing us to present the rate capability of MWPCs in a comprehensive way and ultimately connect it with the mobilities of the drifting ions.

A Measurement of Secondary Muon Angular Distributions
Project GRAND is an array of proportional wire chambers composed of 64 stations with each station containing eight proportional wire planes and a 50 mm steel plate. The proportional wire planes together with the steel absorber allow a measurement of the angle and identity of single muon tracks. Of the two data-taking triggers, one is for single tracks. Since the rate of single muon tracks at se...
متن کاملA multi-stage stochastic programming for condition-based maintenance with proportional hazards model
Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM) optimization using Proportional Hazards Model (PHM) is a kind of maintenance optimization problem in which inspections of a system relevant to its failure rate depending on the age and value of covariates are performed in time intervals. The general approach for constructing a CBM based on PHM for a system is to minimize a long run average cost per unit of time...

متن کاملMWPC rate capability measurements with an X-ray tube
A Cu target X-ray tube operated at 8 kV and several mA is used to perform systematic measurements of the rate capability of Multi-Wire Proportional Chambers (MWPC), and its dependence on chamber geometry, gas composition and gas gain. We describe the experimental set-up, system calibration and first results. Introduction The CBM TRD is a xenon-based gaseous detector that will perform particle t...
متن کاملInfluence of an Inclusion on Multi-Pass Copper Shaped-Wire Drawing by 2D Finite Element Analysis
The size and length effects of an inclusion on multi-pass copper shaped-wire drawing were investigated. For this purpose, an experimental investigation on optimal die half-angle was conducted. Based on experimental data of optimal die half-angle, wire and inclusion deformations, drawing and hydrostatic stress of copper shaped-wires that contain an inclusion were calculated by two-dimensional fi...
