Presentation transcript:

This study has been performed with an apparatus consisting of two identical standard MWPCs, a clean gas system, an outgasing box, a Copper X-ray generator and an 55 Fe X- ray source. In this setup the MWPC is continuously flushed by gas through an outgasing box at a given flow rate, where the box contains the construction materials under investigation, such as glues, frames etc. Experimental setup The desired high accuracy coming from:  The necessity of performing the ageing test in the laboratory in comparable conditions with those in the real experiment.  The short period of the test comparing with the actual lifetime of the detector in the experiment. Several improvements of the setup have been implemented to obtain the mandatory precision: 1- Modification in detector design Two additional outer windows have been added to act as gas tightening windows whilst the two inner foils function as more stable cathodes. 2- Temperature dependence of Gas Flow Rate The effect of temperature variations on the behavior of the MFCs has been investigated. 3- Premixed gas bottle The stability of the normalized gain has been improved to a value better than 0.6% peak-to-peak variation. Toward accurate ageing studies Stability developments 0.2% Outer windows Inner windows Gain Variation ~ 8% peak-to-peak Without outer windows Gain Variation ~ 1% peak-to-peak With outer windows  Studies of the influence of construction materials on the ageing properties of high rate gas detectors are necessary  A dedicated ageing test setup is operational in GSI DetLab  The ambient parameters (e.g. temperature, pressure etc.) should be kept constant during the test as much as possible and the residual should be corrected with the reference chamber  Many optimization tests have been performed to achieve high accuracy ageing test  Ageing tests are performed on clean and contaminated Vetronit G11.  Up to 10.3 mC/cm accumulated charge, no ageing effect has been observed from clean G11.  Up to 8mC/cm accumulated charge, no ageing effect has been observed from contaminated G11. Summary Ageing test of the influence of clean fiberglass - Vetronit G11 produced by VonRoll Holding Ltd.- has been performed. Other ageing test has been of contaminated G11 with sawing liquid –Micro 3000 produced by Microjet GmbH- which consists of alcohol and synthetic aster.

High luminosity experiments like the Compressed Baryonic Matter (CBM) at FAIR, Germany will employ several types of gaseous detectors, since long term (~10 years) stable operation at high rates is essential. In general, the observed damage depends on the amount of radiation seen by the detector. In addition many other factors like construction materials, gas composition, gas quality, gas flow rate, particle rate, and particle type play an extremely important role Motivations The expected accumulated charge ~ 7.5 C/cm 2 after 10 year operation. The expected accumulated charge ~ 0.4 C/cm after 10 year operation. Ageing test approach For periods of 12 mins, the ageing chamber is being irradiated 10 mins by copper X-ray generator, subsequently the mean position of pulse height of 55 Fe X-ray source is being registered during 1 min each chamber. The reference chamber is being used for accurate normalization and to distinguish the deterioration of the gain due to ageing (if any) from the variation due to the ambient parameters (e.g. pressure, temperature, gas composition),. Therefore, the data (gain, counting rate, current, resolution, and the ambient parameters ) of both chambers are continuously recorded
