A Study of Mwpc with Chevron Cathode Pad Readout
نویسنده
چکیده
An investigation of MWPCs with interpolating chevron shaped cathode pad readout has been carried out as part of the R&D for the particle tracking system of the PHENIX detector at RHIC. Two prototype chambers were designed and constructed. Their response to minimum ionizing particles was tested with secondary beams from the Alternating Gradient Synchrotron (AGS) at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Results on resolution, diierential non-linearity and overall performance for diierent chevron patterns and cell ge-ometries are presented. 1 .

Investigation of Chevron Cathode Pads for Position Encoding in Very High Rate, Gas Proportional Chambers*
New techniques for position encoding in very high rate particle and photon detectors will be required in experiments planned for future particle accelerators such as the Superconducting Super Collider and new, high intensity, synchrotron sources. We are carrying out a detailed theoretical and experimental study of a position interpolation technique in which a row of chevron shaped cathode pads ...

*This research was supported by the U.S. Department of Energy under Contract No. DE-AC02-76CH00016. Experiments which are planned for the Superconducting Super Collider and the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider will involve interactions in which detectors will need to identify and localize hundreds or even thousands of particle tracks simultaneously. Most types of conventional position sensitive,...

متن کاملTechnology of photocathode production
Thin film photocathodes have been developed both for gas and vacuum based photodetectors. Over the last years we have gained experience in fabricating large area reflective CsI and semi-transparent monoand bialkali-cathodes, i.e. Rb2Te and K2CsSb: Today we are producing stable cathodes with excellent quantum efficiency for large MWPC based pad detectors and Hybrid Photodiodes on a routine basis...
متن کاملR&d on the Gem Readout of the Tesla Tpc
Studies for the TESLA TPC (Time Projection Chamber) with GEM (Gas Electron Multiplier) readout at DESY/Hamburg University are presented. Two test chamber setups are being operated. The studies include basic GEM performance, tracking and the determination of the resolution using different pad sizes and geometries. Our measurements show that chevron shaped pads lead to a better point resolution c...
