Each of the detector with large sensitive area of 244 mm×284 mm, consists of one central cathode, X anode and Y anode. The cathode plane in the middle of detector is a 1.5 μm thick Mylar foil coated with a thin Au-layer on both sides. The position resolution of the PPAC is better than 4 mm, and the time resolution is 0.42 ns. The detectors were used in the fission experiment with 30MeV/u 40Ar beam bombarding on a gold target to measure the velocity of the fission fragments at Radioactive Ion Beam Line In Lanzhou(RIBLL). Four PPACs were used and the experiment result showed that a rather high detection efficiency (90.3%) is achieved. The position distribution of fission fragments is given by PPACs, which provides very good experimental data for further theoretical analysis.

Electric field distribution and simulation of avalanche formation due to the passage of heavy ions in a parallel grid avalanche counter

Electric field distributions and their role in the formation of avalanche due to the passage of heavy ions in parallel grid avalanche type wire chamber detectors are evaluated using a Monte Carlo simulation.

Measurement of avalanche size and position resolution of RPCs with different surface resistivities of the high voltage provider

The effects of surface resistivity of the high voltage provider on the space dispersion of the induced charge of a prototype Resistive Plate Chamber (RPC) have been studied experimentally and theoretically. The results of both experiment and theory agree and confirm that a two-Gaussian function can be used to fit the dispersion of the induced charge of the RPC. It is shown that the Gaussian function with the narrower width is mainly due to the expansion of the avalanche charge in the gas gap of the RPC, and the Gaussian function with the larger width is due to the charge dispersion when it passes through the resistive carbon film. This will be useful in the RPC design when one wants to make an RPC with high position resolution.
