DRIFT CHAMBERS I 20 m
- Slide 41
- Folie 41 The wires are arranged in layers that pass through the
cylinder at three different angles. The set of wires that give a
signal can be used to allow computer reconstruction of the paths
(or tracks) of all the charged particles through the chamber. The
"drift" in the name of this chamber refers to the time it takes
electrons to drift to the nearest sense wire from the place where
the high-energy particle ionized an atom. Any three sense wires are
only nearby in one place so a set of "hits" on these three fix a
particle track in this region. By measuring the drift time, the
location of the original track can be determined much more
precisely than the actual spacing between the wires. improved
position resolution by nearest 3 wires method inclined wires DRIFT

- Folie 42 properties: full 3-dimensional detector constant drift
velocity due to the collisions in the gas mixture (typical a few
cm/s). low occupancy even for high background (high rates) large
dE/dx due to large gas thickness (particle identification) idea:
avoid pile-up many MWPC planes (typical gas thickness of 1 cm)
principle: electrons produced follow the constant electric field
lines to a single MPWC plane located at one end of the volume ( x-y
coordinates on this plane) Third coordinate, z, from the drift time
of the electrons to the anode plane STAR TPC - RHIC, Brookhaven TPC
