Gas composition, pressure, and chamber geometry effects on self-quenching streamer behavior

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6190946
; ; ;
Self quenching streamer behavior produces large, saturated, fast pulses in thick anode wire chambers filled with a variety of heavily quenching gas mixtures. A comparison of the performance of these mixtures and a study of the effects of gas pressure and chamber geometry are presented.
