Gas Quenching
Gas quenching is one of the most important factors that control the gaseous detectors.Usually, the gas mixture ,contains the ionization event, consists of gas atoms as a main source of electrons and gas molecules that has a large cross sections for excitation and vibration states to cool the electrons' energy to the non-ionizing mode modes, such a process is called gas quenching.Consequently, a higher electric fields required to get a higher gain.<ref name="Sharma"> A.Sharma,F. Sauli, first tawsend coefficients measurements for argon gas european organization for nuclear research (1993) </ref >
Gas quenching experimentally can be measured by evaluating Townsend first coefficients A,B for different gas mixtures. the following table represents the Townsend first coefficients' values for different ratio of Ar/CO2 gas mixtures:<ref name="Sharma"/>
| Percentage of CO2 | 3.7 | 22.8 | 87.2 | 100 |
| A | 5.04 | 221.1 | 158.3 | 145.1 |
| B | 90.82 | 207.6 | 291.8 | 318.2 |
| 16.2 | 21.6 | 32.9 | 36.4 |
The electric field pressure ratio in the last row is the upper limit of the reduced electric field which Townsend's equation fits considering E as a uniform electric field.
