Mini-prototype
Drift Chamber prototypes were constructed to evaluate drift chamber designs for CLAS12
Mini-prototype Performance Measurements
General Operating Condition
Chamber Ionization Gas
Our initial plan will be to use (75/25) flowing though the chamber at a flow rate high enough to exchange the volume once a day.
high Voltage supply
A CAEN 4 channel high voltage supply (N470) will be used to supply HV for the drift chambers. The supply is capable of monitoring currents at the microAmp(A) level and voltages at the Volt (V) level.
==== Signal Processing====
The output signals from the drift chamber will be processed through several
NIM based modules.
Dan or Phil: Insert specs of amplifier needed to see DC signals
A descriminator from
Cosmic tests
Place chamber between two plastic scintillator paddles to check signals.
