Charge Division Using Carbon Filaments for Obtaining Coordinate Information from Detection of Single Electrons

摘要

Seven micron diameter Carbon filaments forming the anode of a multiwire proportional chamber have been used to detect single electrons. Charge division techniques applied to the 5 cm long wire resulted in a position resolution of sigma/L < 2% for a collected signal charge of 30 fC. (ERA citation 11:007762)
