低压多丝正比室为放射性束核反应的靶前粒子提供位置和时间信号。本工作用^241Am α源研究电压、工作气体压强等因素对低压多丝正比室位置分辨的影响。实验结果表明:在不同的气体压强条件下,低压多丝正比室的位置分辨均可达到1mm,但考虑到时间、效率等因素,实验中需尽可能提高气压。
Low pressure multi-wire proportional chamber(LPMWPC) provides excellent position and time signals for the radioactive beam induced reactions. By using the ^241 Am 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.
