The design of flash tube arrays

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento (1955-1965)

Summary

The computer method of analysis has made possible a more complete investigation of the design considerations of flash tube arrays for use in location of particle trajectories. In this paper results are presented giving the effects of variation in the array parameters (e.g., gas pressure, number of layers of tubes and tube sizes and location) on the error in angular measurement.

Riassunto

L’adozione delle calcolatrici ha reso possibile una più completa analisi dei dati di progettazione dei sistemi di tubi a scintilla destinati alla localizzazione delle traiettorie delle particelle. Qui presentiamo i risultati ed esponiamo gli effetti di una variazione dei parametri del sistema (p. es. pressione del gas, numero degli strati di tubi, dimensioni e posizione dei tubi) sugli errori nelle misure degli angoli.
