However: per cm in Argon only ca. 100 electron-ion pairs are produced by ionisation (see next page) this has to be compared with the noise of a typical amplifier of 1000 e- a very efficient amplification mechanism is needed carsten.niebuhr@desy.de 5 Particle Detectors 2 Ne 9.00 x Ar 1.78 x Kr 3.74 x Xe 5.89 x CO x CH x C 4 H x avg. ionisation pot. / shell elect. average energy loss./ion pair number primary electron-ion pairs total number electron-ion pairs E = total energy loss in x and W i = average energy loss per produced ion pair: n T 2 7 n p carsten.niebuhr@desy.de 6 Particle Detectors 2 Gas Amplification First Townsend Coefficient For cylindrical geometry: 1 Er ( ) -- r and r V( r) ln-- a the primary electrons drift towards the positive anode due to 1/r dependence the electric field close to very thin wires reaches values of E > kv/cm in between collisions with atoms electrons gain enough energy to ionize further gas molecules exponential increase in number of electron ion pairs very close (few µm) to the wire + simulated avalanche Number of electron ion pairs created per unit length in the avalanche per electron is given by the first Townsend coefficient α : σ [10 8 b] relation to cross section for ionisation: N A α = σ ion V Mol number of produced ions: nx ( ) = n 0 exp( α( E) x) the gas gain is given by: A ---- n = = exp α ( r ) dr n 0 with a anode diameter and r c distance to wire where avalanche starts example: Argon and E = 100eV: σ = 3x10-16 cm 2 α -1 1µm r c a E [ev] a/p [ion pairs /cm mm Hg] carsten.niebuhr@desy.de 7 Particle Detectors 2 carsten.niebuhr@desy.de 8 Particle Detectors 2

3 Avalanche Formation Signal Shape The signals which are induced on anode and cathode come from the fact that charges move Q in the electric field between the electrodes: dv = dv dr lcv 0 dr Most of the electron-ion pairs are created very close to the anode wire electrons only move a short distance in the electric field: dr small due to transverse diffusion a droplet like avalanche develops around the anode electrons are collected very fast ( 1 ns) mobility of electrons 1000 times larger than for ions the cloud of positive ions remains and slowly drifts towards the cathode picture taken with cloud chamber in contrast the ions move all the way back to the cathode: dr much larger most of the signal is induced by the movement of the ions which takes very long usually the signal is electronically differentiated V max carsten.niebuhr@desy.de 9 Particle Detectors 2 carsten.niebuhr@desy.de 10 Particle Detectors 2 Modes of Operation of Gas Detectors Ionisation chamber: complete charge collection, but no charge amplification Proportional counter: above threshold voltage multiplication starts. Detected signal proportional to original ionization energy measurement (de/dx). Secondary avalanches have to be quenched. Gain Region of limited proportionality: or streamer mode: strong photo emission secundary avalanches. Needs efficient quencher or pulsed HV. Gain upto 10 9, hence simple electronics sufficient Geiger-Müller counter: massive photo emission. Full length of anode wire affected. Stop discharge by HV break down. Strong quenchers needed.
