A systematic study of rate capability in MWPCs (final analysis)

This comprehensive study analyzes the rate capability of Multi-Wire Proportional Counters (MWPCs), focusing on gain measurements and the Mathieson model. Key components include corrections for beam size dependence and comparisons between empirical data and theoretical curves. The findings indicate significant predictive power of the Mathieson formula when accounting for beam size effects, suggesting potential for increased pion suppression while maintaining rate capability. The study concludes with recommendations for further research and improvements in rate capacity.

  3. Gain measurements (I)

  4. Gain measurements (II)

  5. The Mathieson model (I)

  6. The Mathieson model (II) Blanc's Law: Rate capability at fractional gain drop F:

  7. Typical rate curves

  8. Correction for beam-size dependence (I)

  9. Correction for beam-size dependence (II)

  10. Correction for beam-size dependence (III)

  11. Comparison with theoretical curves

  12. Global fit to all curves: 6 (3mixtures x 2 pitches) parameters

  13. Comparison with measured mobilities

  14. Extrapolation to mips

  15. Comparison with data from mips

  16. Conclusions • Once one corrects for beam-size effects and if the nature of the drifting ion is known, the Mathieson formula has an enormous predictive power. • There is room for a further increase of pion suppresion without sacrifying the rate capability (increasing the gap h).
