TPC Performance in Magnetic Fields with GEM and Pad Readout
A novel charged particle tracking device, a high precision time projection chamber with gas electron multiplier and pad readout, is a leading candidate as the central tracker for an experiment at the International Linear Collider. To characterize the performance of such a system, a small TPC has been operated within a magnetic field, measuring cosmic-ray and laser tracks. Good tracking resoluti...
متن کاملMagnetostrictive Actuators Compared to Piezoelectric Actuators
Magnetostriction occurs in the most ferromagnetic materials and leads to many effects [1,2]. The most useful one to refer to is the Joule effect. It is responsible for the expansion (positive magnetostriction) or the contraction (negative) of a rod subjected to a longitudinal static magnetic field. In a given material, this magnetostrain is quadratic and occurs always in the same direction what...
متن کاملNew Developments in the Magnetostrictive Readout System at Slac*
The present paper describes the work done at SLAC for the magnetostrictive wire spark chambers of SPEAR, LASS and the two-meter streamer chamber. All three are CAMAC systems based on the use of a time digitizer module with different interfacing techniques into three different computers (Sigma 5, PDP-9, PDP-11). Of particular interest is a display controller module that permits wide selection of...
متن کاملWire Arrays Vs Vidicons: a Comparison of Large Wire Arrays with Optical Spark Chambers Using Vidicon Readout
Digitized spark-chamber systems using wire arrays are being used for increas ingly complex types of events; their chief virtue is the provision of "on-line II informa tion on the progre ss of the experiment, which we inte rpret as rapid enough to aIIow the results obtained to influence the future course of the experiment. Such on-line operation can also be obtained by several other methods fo...
