A Novel Electrical Method to Measure Wire Tensions for Time Projection Chambers
D. Garcia-Gamez, V. Basque, T. G. Brooks +5
We present a novel electrical technique to measure the tension of wires in multi-wire drift chambers. We create alternating electric fields by biasing adjacent wires on both sides…
