Study of a drift chamber filled with a helium-ethane mixture
Abstract
We tested a small-cell drift chamber filled with a mixture of 50% helium and 50% ethane in a 1 T magnetic field. A good spatial resolution ( σx = 88 ± 2 μm) and a good {dE }/{d}x resolution ( σd E/d x/d E/d x = 10.1 ± 0.2% w samplings) were obtained. The energy loss a function of βγ was measured.
