3 stages in signal generation
1) Ionization by track passing through cell
2) Ionization drifts in E field
time
3) In high E field region near wire, primary ionization
electrons gain enough energy to start ionizing the gas

Gas Amplification
R.S. Orr 2009 TRIUMF Summer Institute
Behaviour as Voltage Increased
• Collection – Recombination dominated
• All charge collected
• Amplification by gas multiplication
• Still proportional – particle ident
• Saturation
• Breakdown – Geiger/Mueller

Diffusion
• Ions & electrons diffuse in space
• E field determines average direction
• Collisions limit velocity
• Maximum average velocity
=Drift velocity

Diffusion
• Ions and electrons diffuse under influence of electric field

Diffusion gives limit on spatial accuracy drift chamber
• To reduce D
• Lower temperature
• Raise pressure (reduce mobility)
Working Gas
• Noble gases give multiplication
at lowest electric field
– Polyatomic gases have nonionization energy loss
mechanisms
• Choose cheap noble gas with
low ionization potential
– Krypton X rare, expensive
– Xenon X
– Argon OK cheap – welding etc
Argon
• Cheap, safe, non-reactive
– remove electro-negative
contaminants O2 , CO2 , H 2O
• Pure argon limited to gain  103
• Many excited ions produced during
avalanche
