400m Mesh
Introduction
• Micro pixel chamber (-PIC)– Position resolution ( - 100m)– Timing resolution ( < 100ns)– High rate capability
( > 107c/sec/mm2)• With micro mesh
– Higher gain in stable operation (>104)
Effect using micro mesh• Higher Electric field
around the anode– Vertical direction against
detection flat– Without increase of e-field
near cathode edge Higher gas gain will
attain safely• Reduction of positive ion
distribution across detection volume
Applications
• Replacement of -PIC with GEM– Real time imaging device for
• X-ray• Gamma-ray• Charged particle• Neutron• etc.
• TPC– Low ion diffuse
Prototype test• Micro mesh was mounted on -PIC
– Supported by plastic film / nylon wire• Support structure is future tasks
– Distance between -PIC and wire• About 300m
– Micro mesh is connected to HV controller• Operation gas
– Ar:C2H6 = 90:10

Micro mesh mount on -PIC by hand.Size of -PIC = 3cm x 3cm.Efficient area using mesh = 2mm x 3cm
Test parameters
• Only signal pulses (gain) were measured– Gain dependency on
• Anode voltage (=Va)• Mesh voltage (=Vm)• Drift voltage (=Vd)

• Vd-Vm = 100V (Vd=2kV for no mesh plot)• Gas: Ar(90%)+C2H5(10%)• Source: Fe55 (5.9kV)

Collection efficiency problem• Collection efficiencies for electrons
– Depend on Vd-Vm … smaller is better

Current status of development• Came up with the new idea
-PIC with micro mesh• Prototypes were made and tested
– Gas multiplicity of it is more than 3 times– More studies are needed for tuning up the parameters
• Simulation studies Keika will talk
• There are many issue to study– How to hold the mesh on detector?– Optimization of geometries and operation voltage?– 2 dimensional readout and larger detection area– We have to get the budget for this project !!!
• There is no budget about this project yet !!
