ACCURACY OF TRACK LOCATION IN SPARK CHAMBERS. PART II

DOI:https://doi.org/10.1063/1.1717427· OSTI ID:4046080

The accuracy of location of a particle track in a spark chamber is studied. Effects of track angles, time delays, and clearing fields are considered. The chamber has Al electrodes 0.005 in. thick and a 6 x 6 in. sensitive area. The spark is triggered by a scintillation counter with a minimum delay time of 0.19 mu sec. He and Ar-He mixtures are used as filling gases. (T.F.H.)
