Slac -pub-836 a Proportional Wire Chamber Electronics System Utilizing

This report describes a system of electronics to be used with a proportional wire chamber hodoscope. The system, which uses CAMAC packaging and data handling philosophy, consists of octo (8 channel) wire signal amplifiers, octo 4-bit per wire latch modules, gate fanout modules, crate controllers, and two types of data processor-interface units to the SDS 9300 computer. System operation is expla...

Status of Project GRAND’s Proportional Wire Chamber Array

Project GRAND is an extensive air shower array of proportional wire chambers. It has 64 stations in a 100 m x 100 m area; each station has eight planes of proportional wire chambers with a 50 mm steel absorber plate above the bottom two planes. This arrangement of planes, each 1.25 square meters of area, allow an angular measurement for each track to 0.25 in each of two projections. The steel a...

Computer simulation of wire-EDM taper-cutting

Wire electro discharge machining (WEDM) has become one of the most popular processes for producing precise geometries in hard materials, such as those used in the tooling industry. Since it is recognized as a precision process, optimization of different aspects related to dimensional accuracy is a classic research topic. The so-called tapercutting involves the generation of inclined ruled surfa...
