Fast gas mixtures for gas-filled particle detectors
TL;DR: In this paper, a combination of binary and tertiary gas mixtures has been discovered for which the electron energies and the overall scattering cross sections that correspond to these are reduced, resulting in an increase in the drift velocity, w, of the electrons in the gas mixture for a range of E/P (pressurereduced electric field) values.

V. Palladino,B. Sadoulet +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that it is possible to understand both qualitatively and quantitatively, in the framework of the classical theory of electrons in gases, the behavior of drift velocities in gases commonly used in proportional drift chambers.

TL;DR: The COSY-11 installation as discussed by the authors is an internal experiment at the cooler synchrotron and storage ring at the Cosy Julich, which is designed for full geometrical acceptance close to threshold for meson production studies, especially in the 1 GeV/c2 mass range.

Multiwire proportional chambers and drift chambers
Georges Charpak,Fabio Sauli +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the relation of the most important properties of a multi-wire structure to the underlying physical phenomena has been discussed, including the electrostatic properties of the structure, the charge distribution induced on the different electrodes and the relative intensity of the electric fields.

The Use of Multiwire Proportional Counters to Select and Localize Charged Particles
TL;DR: In this paper, the properties of planes of independent wires placed between two plane electrodes have been investigated, and it has been shown that each wire works as an independent proportional counter down to separations of 0.1 cm between wires.

TL;DR: In this article, the low-temperature, low-energy elastic and inelastic cross sections were determined as a function of the ratio of the electric field to pressure in He, Ar, He, N, H, CO, and C${\mathrm{O}}_{2} ).
