MICROWAVE DISCHARGE CHAMBER

Journal Article · · Nucl. Instr. Methods
Conditions for getting a good track of a cosmic-ray particle in a discharge chamber by using a pulsed microwave field are described. The microwave pulse generated by a magnetron traverses through a wave guide and is absorbed into a dummy load. As the sensitive volume, a glass tube filled with gas mixture is inserted into the wave guide. Uniformity of the electric field in the wave guide and addition of a small amount of alcohol to the gas mixture were found to be essential for good results. (A.G.W.)
