Specific primary ionization induced by minimum ionizing electrons in CH{sub 4}, C{sub 2}H{sub 6}, C{sub 3}H{sub 8}, i-C{sub 4}H{sub 10}, Ar, DME,TEA and TMAE

Abstract

Specific primary ionization induced by minimum ionizing electrons has been measured in several gases and vapors. Charges deposited by {beta}-electrons in a low pressure gas, were collected, amplified by a multistep gaseous electron multiplier and counted. The high counting efficiency of the multiplier provided results of systematically higher values as compared to existing data. The respective values of the specific primary ionization in CH{sub 4} C{sub 2}H{sub 6}, C{sub 3}H{sub 8},i-C{sub 4}H{sub 10}, Argon, Dimethylether, Triethylamine and Tetrakis(dimethylamino) ethylene are: 0.034, 0.065, 0.095, 0.12, 0.03, 0.082, 0.0195 and 0.370 clusters/cm*Torr. We present the experimental method and discuss the results and their accuracy. (authors).
