Performance of a Chamber for Studying the Liquid Xenon Response to Nuclear Recoils
V. Chepel, F. Neves, V. Solovov +8
The design and performance of a 1.2 liter liquid xenon chamber equipped with 7 two-inch photomultiplier tubes, with the purpose of studying the scintillation response of xenon to g…
Resistive plate chambers for time-of-flight measurements
A. Blanco, P. Fonte, L. Lopes +3
The applications of Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs) have recently been extended by the development of counters with time resolution below 100 ps sigma for minimum ionising particle…
Low Temperature Performance of a Large Area Avalanche Photodiode
V. N. Solovov, F. Neves, V. Chepel +3
A Large Area Avalanche Photodiode (LAAPD) was studied, aiming to access its performance as light detector at low temperatures, down to -80 C. The excess noise factor, F, was measur…
Thin gap parallel mesh chamber: a sparkless high-rate detector
P. Fonte, R. Ferreira-Marques, Y. Ivaniouchenkov +2
In this work we describe a parallel geometry gaseous detector constituted by a thin (0.6 mm) amplifying gap preceded by a drift region. The gap is delimited by a metal plate and by…
