Check Prototype MWPC under realistic beam conditions

  • Move MWPC from Test Lab to Hall D Nov 21, 2017
  • The MWPC prototype was suspended from the stairs on the downstream end of the forward platform with the center on beamline. The chamber was in during most of the spring run through May, at least is seems so from the log entries in the HDFWPC log book. I cannot find a record of when it was actually moved down out of the beam.
  • Log entries
  • The main results of the test were that we see considerable more baseline noise than in the lab setting. Changes to the grounding and shielding are being made to production chambers based on these studies.
