Developement of microstrip gas chambers as a time projection chamber readout
- 1. Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, CA (United States)
Description
We have constructed microstrip gas chambers (MSGCs) for implementation as a time projection chamber readout. The MSGC consists of an alternating 10 μm wide anode and 90 μm wide cathode strip pattern deposited on one side of a thin substrate. A rectangular pad pattern is deposited on the opposite side of the substrate. The MSGC is mounted in a test chamber filled with a 90:10 mixture of Ar-CH4. We will present measurements obtained with an 55Fe X-ray source from MSGCs constructed on different substrates with varying anode/cathode and pad geometries. The performance and optimization of the anode and pad readout will be discussed
