Abstract:
Low pressure multi-wire proportional chamber(LPMWPC) provides excellent position and time signals for the radioactive beam induced reactions. By using the
241Am α source, the influencing conditions on the position resolution, including the voltage and the working gas pressure(800-1 330 Pa), were studied. The best position resolutions at different gas pressures are less than 1 mm. Considered the time resolution and detection efficiency, it is necessary to make the gas pressure as high as possible.
