Spanggaard BE-BI(1)RadWG Meeting 6/ Multi-Wire Proportional Chamber and Gas Electron Multiplier Electronics in TT83 Radiation issues
Spanggaard BE-BI(2)RadWG Meeting 6/ Presentation 1. Multi-wire Proportianal Chamber (MWPC). 2. MWPC in TT Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM). 4. Local Electronics on the beam line. 5. The North Area. 6. TCC2. 7. Proposed test at the H4IRRAD facility.
Spanggaard BE-BI(3)RadWG Meeting 6/ Multi-wire Proportional Chamber MWPC are widely used in the experimental areas for profile measurement. The yellow gas window of the chamber can be seen inside a shielding box, here presented in the out-position. The local electronics is located on the purple support 60 centimeter below the beam.

Spanggaard BE-BI(6)RadWG Meeting 6/ Gas Electron Multiplier 1. Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) are using the same local electronics as Multi-wire Proportional Chambers. New GEM detectors are scheduled to replace MWPC on the M2 beam line.
Spanggaard BE-BI(7)RadWG Meeting 6/ MWPC Local Electronics The local electronics contains integrators for each wire of the chamber and the integrated charge is multiplexed and send to the acquisition system on the surface, often through several hundred meters of cable.

Spanggaard BI/EA(10)Section Meeting 12/ Irradiation of XWCM local electronics -Since many years we are suffering radiation damage of local electronics for the XWCM located upstream in TT83. Many different types of shielding have been tried with poor success and we have now developed a new Rad-Hard local electronics that we would like to test in an environment that simulates an accelerated stay upstream in TT83 next to TCC2: -We therefore propose to install an (operational) GEM along with its local electronics inside the H4-IRRAD facility for this start-up!
Spanggaard BE-BI(11)RadWG Meeting 6/ Proposed tests on H4 1. Implementation of a new profile reading immediately upstream to the secondary target. (profile readings until it dies). 2. Irradiation of the new local electronics. 3. Comparative irradiation of old electronics. 4. Long term irradiation of the new GEM detector for M2. 5. Measure dose rate at XWCM All these test can be done parasitically !
