Abstract

Using 5 mm diameter copper coated mylar straw tubes at a potential of 2.30 KV relative to a concentric 20 (mu)m diameter gold-plated tungsten anode, it has been observed that with very low flow rates of CF4-based gases the conductive copper cathode material may be removed entirely from the mylar surface.

Localized etching of an insulator film coated on a copper wire using an atmospheric-pressure microplasma jet

Journal Article Yoshiki, Hiroyuki - Review of Scientific Instruments

Atmospheric-pressure microplasma jets (AP{mu}PJs) of Ar and Ar/O{sub 2} gases were generated from the tip of a stainless steel surgical needle having outer and inner diameters of 0.4 and 0.2 mm, respectively, with a rf excitation of 13.56 MHz. The steel needle functions both as a powered electrode and a gas nozzle. The operating power is 1.2-6 W and the corresponding peak-to-peak voltage Vp.p. is about 1.5 kV. The AP{mu}PJ was applied to the localized etching of a polyamide-imide insulator film (thickness of 10 {mu}m) of a copper winding wire of 90 {mu}m diameter. The insulator film around the coppermore »« less

Precise measurement of internal sense-wire locations in high-energy physics detectors

Conference Dunn, W L ; O'Foghludha, F ; Yacount, A M - Transactions of the American Nuclear Society; (United States)

Cylindrical straw tubes that contain central sense wires (as anodes) are commonly employed in high-energy and nuclear physics experiments to track charged particles through regions of large detectors. The outer tracking region of the proposed Solenoidal Detector Collaboration (SDC) detector for future experiments at the Superconducting Super Collider (SSC), for instance, is expected to contain more than a hundred thousand 4-mm-diam straw tube drift cells arranged in five cylindrically concentric superlayers. The superlayers will be made up of modules having roughly trapezoidal cross sections. The modules will be up to 4 m long and will contain [approximately]200 straws each, arrangedmore »« less
Performance of 0. 75 mm pitch MWPC'S operating at high rate

Conference Conetti, S ; Kuzminski, J ; Marchionni, A ; ...

Three Multiwire Proportional Chambers (MWPC) with high rate capability have been constructed for Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory experiment 705 (Charmonium and Direct Photon production by ..pi../sup +-/, p and /bar p/ at 300 GeV/c). Each chamber, with a sensitive area of 308 cm/sup 2/, consists of three anode planes, wound with 12.5 ..mu..m diameter gold-plated tungsten/rhenium wire, facing 25 ..mu..m graphite-coated kapton cathode planes at a distance of 3 mm. Wire spacing in two of the MWPC (PC-B1 and PC-B2) is 0.75 mm and 1.00 mm in the third one (PC-B3). After a few weeks of running on ''Magic Gas''more »« less

Plasma sputtering robotic device for in-situ thick coatings of long, small diameter vacuum tubes

Journal Article Hershcovitch, A., E-mail: hershcovitch@bnl.gov ; Blaskiewicz, M. ; Brennan, J. M. ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

A novel robotic plasma magnetron mole with a 50 cm long cathode was designed, fabricated, and operated. The reason for this endeavor is to alleviate the problems of unacceptable resistive heating of stainless steel vacuum tubes in the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). The magnetron mole was successfully operated to copper coat an assembly containing a full-size, stainless steel, cold bore, RHIC magnet tubing connected to two types of RHIC bellows, to which two additional pipes made of RHIC tubing were connected. To increase the cathode lifetime, a movable magnet package was developed, and the thickest possible cathode was made,more »« less

MCNPX Simulation Study of STRAW Neutron Detectors

Conference Sanjoy Mukhopadhyay, Richard Maurer, Stephen Mitchell

A novel prototype fission meter is being designed at National Security Technologies, LLC, using a thin uniform coating (only 1 micron thick) of {sup 10}B as a neutron converter inside a large array of thin (4 mm diameter) copper tubes. The copper tubes are only 2 mils thick, and each holds the stretched anode wire under tension and high voltage. The tubes are filled with proportional counter gas (a mixture of 90%/10% of Ar/CO{sub 2}). The tubes operate in proportional counter mode and attract mobile charged particles ({alpha}'s) created in the nuclear interaction {sup 10}B(n, {sup 4}He){sup 7}Li. However, amore »« less
