1975V, resolution ch 20
1975V, resolution vs hit radius

This does not look nearly as good as 50/50 gas mix. Resolution is calculated as fitted drift distance - measured distance, so it is positive when the measured drift time and distance are too small. In this case they are too small at small drift distance but too large at large drift distance. This could be a problem with the gas mix.

 Suspect total flow of 60sccm might be too low for the CO2 MFC.  Increase to 80sccm and repeat. Also try Garfield for different gas mixes and look at tmax.
