82Se time projection chamber for double beta decay
Description
A report on the UCI Time Projection Chamber (TPC) is given. The new experiment was designed to overcome the low (2%) efficiency of the cloud chamber and also allow a more automated analysis of the data. The Helmholtz coils, the lead shielding house, the 4π multiwire proportional chamber cosmic-ray veto, and finally the TPC itself are worth mentioning. The crossed anode and cathode wire planes give the X and Y positional information. 82Se sample (97% enriched) is contained between the two aluminized mylar sheets. Both sides of the source are active. A typical double beta event is also shown. (author)
