Nanostructured Emission Current Sources in Multiwire Proportional Chambers

  • Published:
Bulletin of the Russian Academy of Sciences: Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

The mechanism of occurrence of spontaneous self-sustained currents in a multiwire proportional chamber from the experiment at the Large Hadron Collider has been considered. Atomic force microscopy, Rutherford backscattering, and Raman spectroscopy on the copper foil of the chamber cathode revealed the formation of nanocarbon structures and their fluorinated compounds, which are well known as low-threshold sources of field emission of electrons.
