The Development and Study of High-Position Resolution (50 micron) RPCs for Imaging X-rays and UV photons
C. Iacobaeus, P. Fonte, T. Francke +4
Nowadays, commonly used Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs) have counting rate capabilities of ~10E4Hz/cm2 and position resolutions of ~1cm. We have developed small prototypes of RPCs…
Potential of RPCs for tracking
T. Francke, P. Fonte, V. Peskov +1
We have demonstrated that small gap (0.1 to 0.4 mm) RPCs made of low resistivity materials (less than 1E8 Ohm.cm) can operate at counting rates of up to 1E5 Hz/mm2 with position re…
Sporadic electron jets from cathodes - The main breakdown-triggering mechanism in gaseous detectors
C. Iacobaeus, M. Danielsson, P. Fonte +3
We have demonstrated experimentally that the main breakdown-triggering mechanism in most gaseous detectors, including micropattern gaseous detectors, is sporadic electron jets from…
Evaluation of various planar gaseous detectors with CsI photocathodes for the detection of primary scintillation light from noble gases
L. Periale, V. Peskov, P. Carlson +5
Noble gases and liquids are excellent scintillators and this opens a unique opportunity to directly detect the primary scintillation light produced in these media by photons or par…
