Revision as of 17:56, 30 April 2008

Planned tests

  • High Voltage plateau === done

Gas: Ar-CO2 87%-13% gas mixture. Setup: the signal after the shaper was inverted and fed to a discriminator. The HV was changed and the signals above threshold where counted (normalized to 100s measure time). The result:

HV-curve,the count is normalized to 100s measurements.

So things start to show up (above threshold, the threshold was set just above noise) at 1700/1750 V and start to break down at 2000V.


Below galleries of pulses are shown for different HV (on the left channel 2, on the right channel 15) -- remember everything above 1V is an overflow on the fADC, also the b/w traces are taken with infinite persistence, the colored ones with 10 s persistence:

    • 1600 V
Gallery of pulses of channel 2.
Gallery of pulses of channel 15.
Amplitude spectrum of ch 15 (counts versus amplitude in ADC channels, with shaper).
    • 1650 V

  • (absolute) Gas gain as a function of High Voltage

Source measurement using Sr-90 (e-) or 55-Fe (X-rays) (if we have it) / or using cosmic rays? -- Estimated time: 1 day -- if we have a good source


  • Dynamic range + amplitude distributions

1 week measure with horizontal chamber + 1 week measure with tilted chamber. For amplitude distributions we need to have modified shapers. -- Estimated time: 2 weeks


  • Collection of gallery of pulses

I found 4 pulse galleries, measured directly after the pre-amplifier made by Gerard when he was here, they are shown below:
