Monte Carlo Simulation Study of the Characteristics of Xe-Ne Gas Mixtures as Detection Media in Gas Proportional Ionization Counters

A Monte Carlo simulation has been developed to investigate the performance of Xe-Ne filled proportional ionization counters, with a special interest on the intrinsic energy resolution R int as a function of the Xe-Ne mixtures composition. The Monte Carlo simulation reproduces the growth of single-el...

description A Monte Carlo simulation has been developed to investigate the performance of Xe-Ne filled proportional ionization counters, with a special interest on the intrinsic energy resolution R int as a function of the Xe-Ne mixtures composition. The Monte Carlo simulation reproduces the growth of single-electron-initiated avalanches in cylindrical geometry, and the results for R int are discussed in terms of the influence of the Penning ionization on the statistical parameter f characterizing the fluctuations of single-electron avalanches gain. The results for R int , and f, as well as for the multiplication factor M, are calculated for each mixture as a function of the reduced anode voltage K=V/ln(c/a), where V is the voltage applied to the anode-wire and c/a is the cathode-to-anode radius ratio
