Application of classical theory of electrons in gases to drift proportional chambers

Journal Article · · Nucl. Instrum. Methods, v. 128, no. 2, pp. 323-335
;
It is shown that it is possible to understand both qualitatively and quantitatively, in the framework of the classical theory of electrons in gases, the behavior of drift velocities in gases commonly used in proportional drift chambers. Argon-isobutane mixtures are studied in detail and the contribution of diffusion to the spatial resolution and the modification of drift velocities in magnetic fields are especially commented on.
