EUROPEAN ORGANIZATION FOR NUCLEAR RESEARCH CERN–EP/99–99 15 July 1999 RESOLUTION LIMITS OF DRIFT TUBES
نویسندگان
چکیده
Measurements of the drift-tube response to charged particle tracks are compared with a complete simulation. The measured resolution of typically 80μm agrees well with the simulation and allows the individual factors limiting the resolution such as diffusion, charge deposit fluctuations, gas gain fluctuations and signal processing to be studied. The results with respect to the dependence of the drift chamber resolution on gas gain, gas pressure and electronics parameters are reported. a EP Division, CERN, CH–1211 Geneva 23, Switzerland. b Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, 80539 München, Germany. c Max-Planck-Institut für Physik, Föhringer Ring 6, 80805 München, Germany. 1 Now at Harvard University, 42 Oxford Street, Cambridge MA 02138, USA. 2 Now at NIKHEF, Kruislaan 409, 1098 SJ Amsterdam, Netherlands. 3 Now at Max-Planck-Institut für Physik, Föhringer Ring 6, 80805 München, Germany.

EUROPEAN ORGANIZATION FOR NUCLEAR RESEARCH CERN–EP/99–101 15 July 1999 RATE EFFECTS IN HIGH-RESOLUTION DRIFT CHAMBERS
The impact of high counting rates on the spatial resolution of cylindrical drift tubes is investigated in detail and the results are compared with simulations. Electronics effects and space-charge effects are quantitatively analysed. A spatial resolution of σ < 80μm can be achieved even at rates as high as 1500 Hz/cm wire length (300 kHz per wire). a EP Division, CERN, CH–1211 Geneva 23, Switze...

This paper is meant as a contribution to the often debated subject of how to combine data which appear to be in mutual disagreement. As a practical example, the ǫ ′ /ǫ determinations have been considered.

Direct mass measurements of short-lived Cs and Ba isotopes have been performed with the tandem Penning trap mass spectrometer ISOLTRAP installed at the online isotope separator ISOLDE at CERN. Typically, a mass resolving power of 600 000 and an accuracy of m 13 keV have been obtained. The masses of Ba and Cs were measured for the rst time. A least-squares adjustment has been performed and the e...
