The Limited Streamer Tubes of the Sld *
نویسنده
چکیده
A large hadron calorimeter and muon tracking device using plastic streamer tubes has been constructed in the iron flux-return structure for the SLD detector at SLAC. Various studies of the operating characteristics of the streamer tubes of this system are presented. Emphasis is placed on the tracking capabilities of the device and on the optimization of the high voltage and readout electronics.

متن کاملLimited Streamer Tube and Capacitor Testing for BABAR Detector
Testing of Limited Streamer Tubes (LSTs) has been conducted on the first set of LSTs meant for installation in the BABAR detector. The tubes are kept under high voltage (between 5 and 6 KV) as often as possible to ensure their durability. Three tests were conducted: signal charge, leak and radioactive source. Testing is conducted to ensure that no damage occurred during transport of the LSTs fr...
متن کاملA layer of streamer tube detectors for the measurement of muons in the KASCADE central detector
For an improved detection of cosmic ray muons with a threshold of 2.4 GeV, the KASCADE Central Detector has been upgraded with a new detector component built of limited streamer tubes. Combined with the operation of two layers of multiwire proportional chambers they enable studies of the muonic component of extensive air showers at higher particle densities. Due to the pad readout system of the...
متن کاملStudy of Dimethyl Ether for Limited Streamer Tubes*
Position resolution and lifetime have been studied for one-atmosphere D\IE in half-inch diameter aluminum tube chambers operated in the limited streamer mode. The radial resolution was measured by timing to be CT, = 73 pm. The longitudinal resolution was measured by charge division to be < 0.3% of the wire length. No significant gain changes were seen after 12 C/cm. Submitted to Nuclear Instrum...
متن کاملLimited Streamer Tubes for the Babar Instrumented Flux Return Upgrade
Starting from the very beginning of their operation the efficiency of the RPC chambers in the BaBar Instrumented Flux Return (IFR) has suffered serious degradation. After intensive investigation, various remediation efforts had been carried out, but without success. As a result the BaBar collaboration decided to replace the dying barrel RPC chambers about two years ago. To study the feasibility...
