摘要:

通过MediPix 2读出芯片作为直接阳极读出小漂移室。将Micromegas箔放置在芯片上方50 $μ$处,并且在间隙中发生电子倍增。使用He/Isobutane 80/20混合物,气体倍增因子达到数万,导致检测单个电子的效率优于90%。我们记录了许多帧包含2D图像的宇宙μ子轨道。沿着这些轨迹,观察到电子团簇,以及δ射线。

英文摘要:

A small drift chamber was read out by means of a MediPix2 readout chip as direct anode. A Micromegas foil was placed 50 $μ$m above the chip, and electron multiplication occurred in the gap. With a He/Isobutane 80/20 mixture, gas multiplication factors up to tens of thousands were achieved, resulting in an efficiency for detecting single electrons of better than 90% . We recorded many frames containing 2D images with tracks from cosmic muons. Along these tracks, electron clusters were observed, as well as delta-rays.
