Study of helium-based drift chamber gases
The spatial resolution and dE dx resolution of several helium-based drift chamber gases have been measured and compared with an argon-based gas, ArC 2H 6 (50:50). The gases were investigated with a system of aluminum drift tubes using cosmic rays. The gases studied include various mixtures of helium...

| Zusammenfassung: | The spatial resolution and
dE
dx
resolution of several helium-based drift chamber gases have been measured and compared with an argon-based gas, ArC
2H
6 (50:50). The gases were investigated with a system of aluminum drift tubes using cosmic rays. The gases studied include various mixtures of helium and ethane, isobutane, and propane. The spatial resolution of the helium-based gases is better than that of ArC
2H
6 (50:50), while the
dE
dx
resolution is comparable. |
