Description

Practical formulas for calculating position sensing by charge division were given. They were applied to experiments on self-quenching streamer (SQS) tubes with different shorter wire lengths (smallest resistance 425 Ω) and the position resolution obtained was 1.1% for a 37.3 cm wire. The error of position sensing by charge division on single tube was compared to that on parallelly connected double tubes. Possible errors of determining position of the shower 'Axis' by charge division method on the wires were studied
