ionization electrons drift wire chambers  avalanches
position dependence of the induced signal the point of arrival
of the electrons
drift time for each of the pad signals fully 3-D
wire signals know specific energy loss, dE/dx

The electrons arriving there are multiplied by gas amplification
and the avalanche process generates electrical signals both on
the wire itself and by induction on the segmented cathode plate
underneath.
M.W.P.C.內層結構




Sense grid
Act as the anode wires of the proportional cell and
are at positive high voltage with respect to the
surroundings.
The electrons arrive from the drift volume towards
these wires and initiate there an avalanche process
due to gas amplification as in any multiwire
proportional chamber.
Each of sense wire is connected to a preamplifier

Field wire

serve to electrically decouple the sense wire

Null potential (cathode) grid

serve to close the proportional cell and to separate it
from the drift volume. This grid is held at the same
potential as the cathode plane.

Space Charge的產生

Positive ions
1.最初的游離過程: electron—drift HV plane neglected
2.avalanche process +ions (gas gain 10^3~10^4)cannot be
neglected
大部分被neutralized
1.cathode plan 2.field wire 3.cathode grid
一部分到達drift volume they travel only slowly towards the
HV plane, they can build up a considerable space charge in the
drift volume, thereby destroying the uniformity of the electric
field.

Gating Grid
Closed Gate
A potential difference between the two semi-grids is applied
such that a dipole field is created which can serve twofold
purpose
1.it stops the ions created in the avalanche process from
traveling back into the drift volume; instead they are neutralized
at the gating grid.
2.it can also be used to stop the electrons arriving from the drift
volume before they enter the proportional region

Some design considerations




Avalanche process:
High electric field
Diameter of the sense wire small
Tolerance on the variation of the diameter very
tight
