  1. TPG Drift Studies Edda Gschwendtner

  2. Concentrate on Helium based gas mixtures • Energy loss of charged particles through ionisation in gas • clusters/cm, electrons/cluster • Drift properties of electrons • Drift velocity, transversal diffusion, longitudinal diffusion  HEED  Magboltz Edda Gschwendtner

  3. He/CH4 mixtures: Clusters/cm cluster/cm Ekin = mc2 ( -1) mc2 () ~ 105 MeV  ( -1) ~ 2 cluster/cm electrons/cluster for 200MeV/c muons electrons/cluster for 200MeV/c muons gamma-1 gamma-1 Edda Gschwendtner

  4. He/CO2 mixtures: Clusters/cm cluster/cm Ekin = mc2 ( -1) electrons/cluster for 200MeV/c muons mc2 () ~ 105 MeV  ( -1) ~ 2 cluster/cm electrons/cluster for 200MeV/c muons gamma-1 gamma-1 Edda Gschwendtner

  5. Helium, E=520V/cm Drift Properties 0 Edda Gschwendtner

  6. He/CH4 mixtures, E=520V/cm Drift Properties I Edda Gschwendtner

  7. Drift Properties II He/CO2 mixtures, E=520V/cm Edda Gschwendtner

  8. Summary • He/CH4 mixtures: with more CH4 • More electrons/cm produced • Less diffusion • Faster drift velocity • take maximum CH4 value still compatible with safety? • He/CO2 mixtures: with more CO2 • More electrons/cm produced • Less diffustion • But slower drift velocity • Sufficiently enough gain with little CO2? In ALICE TPC: Neon based gas  look at that… Edda Gschwendtner
