Comparative Analysis of the Performance Characteristics of Mini-drift Tubes with Different Design

摘要

Two types of mini-drift tubes differing in design of their cathodes - with open and closed geometries - have been experimentally compared. Though their main characteristics are practically identical, two coordinates can be read out of a single tube with the open cathode geometry by recording the signal from the anode wires and the signal induced on the external strip electrodes. This feature will be used to develop the muon system of the PANDA setup (FAIR).
