Relativistic Rise Measurements with Very Fine Sampling Intervals

We have studied the ionization loss in small gas samples using a longitudinal drift ionization detector and fast analog to digital conversion techniques. We find this technique can substantially improve the mass resolution capability of gas particle detectors. We have also shown that only a rather c...

Zusammenfassung:	We have studied the ionization loss in small gas samples using a longitudinal drift ionization detector and fast analog to digital conversion techniques. We find this technique can substantially improve the mass resolution capability of gas particle detectors. We have also shown that only a rather coarse ADC resolution is required to capture all the information needed with the truncated mean sampling method of determining the relative energy loss.
