Towards energy resolution at the statistical limit from a negative ion time projection chamber
arXiv:1205.6427 · doi:10.1016/j.nima.2012.05.078
Abstract
We make a proof-of-principle demonstration that improved energy resolution can be obtained in a negative-ion time projection chamber, by individually counting each electron produced by ionizing radiation.
