Texas Active Target (TexAT)● New active target detector under development by Rogachev
Group● Time projection chamber (TPC) setup● Gases will be used with TexAT
○ Target of beam○ Active medium for tracking
● Will be used for detailed, precise 3-D trackreconstructions from reactions of gases and rare isotope beams

Motivation● TexAT will rely on simulations for gas properties:
○ Drift Velocity○ Gas Gain
● Verification of simulators needed to provide uncertainties in track reconstruction
● Quantifying accuracy of Garfield++ drift simulation package

Approach● Testing four potential target gases for TexAT
○ He+4%CO₂○ He+10%CO₂○ Methane○ Isobutane
● TPC with applied electric field and proportional counters● 5.4MeV alpha particles ionize gas, electrons drift and
undergo Townsend avalanche near wires● Alphas hit Si detector causing timing trigger on wires● Use timing values to determine drift velocity

Setup● Voltage applied to field cage
surrounding TPC● Mesh 3mm above wires
○ e⁻ undergo avalanche in region
● Si detector with 6-slit mask across from alpha source○ Defines alpha tracks

Data Interpretation● Apply cut around alpha
energy deposits ● Ensures only timing
signals from alphas, not from outside noise
61 Channel = .6mV

Data Interpretation● Fit gaussians to wire
timing, use means to determine drift time
● Drift velocity can be calculated from drift time
● Averaged drift velocity of all 5 wires
7 1 Channel = .25ns

Simulations● Using Garfield++¹ drift
simulation package● Drifting e⁻ in same gas,
pressure, and E-field● Drifting every .5cm up to
10cm above floor● Outputs drift velocity,
timing and position resolutions

Results: Helium+CO₂
● 5% systematic uncertainty shown in error bars○ mainly from uncertainty
in E-Field and pressure/temperature
● Exp/Sims:○ He+4%CO₂: 1.12○ He+10%Co₂: 1.07
● Sims slightly underestimate drift velocity

Results: Methane
● Best fit of all gases● Exp/Sims: 1.02● Deviations start to occur
at higher E/P values

Conclusion● Garfield underestimates drift velocities of He+CO₂ mixtures
by 7-12%● Methane had only 2% deviation between experimental and
simulation values● Isobutane exhibited a systematic deviation from simulation
data○ Requires further testing with higher pressures and
different geometry

Evidence for Field Distortion● Wires are consistent with
external alpha source● Deviations increase closer
to source
