Publication Abstract: | The nuclear interactions group at MIT has been constructing vertical drift chambers (VDCs) for hall A of the Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF) in Newport News, Virginia.The VDCs are used to detect the position at which a particle crosses it with very high accuracy.The chambers consist of two sets of parallel anode wires surrounded by an ionizable gas and two cathode planes. Efficiency measurements were taken with a 62% argon, 38% ethane gas mixture.Generally, an effiency plateau of 99% was reached when the threshold voltage on the cards was set above the noise. |
