Tests of the performance of different gas mixtures in microstrip gas counters

Abstract

This article describes measurements of the electron drift and diffusion parameters in gas mixtures, suited for application in a micro-strip gas counter. The aims were to optimize for position resolution, detection efficiency and response time. The measurements were done in mixtures of Ar, CF{sub 4}, C{sub 2}H{sub 6}, Xe, CO{sub 2} and DME using a pulsed UV laser beam. Results are reported from tests in a particle beam for efficiency and position resolution of the counter using the two gases found to be most promising in the laser tests. (author). 6 refs.; 15 figs.; 1 tab.
