High rate beam test of Gas Detectors
1GSI Darmstadt; 2JINR Dubna; 3University of Heidelberg, 4University of Münster, 5NIPNE Bucharest
Results of experimental data analysis taken on the SIS GSI beam are presented. As a prototype of TRD detector, four proportional chambers of different configurations and one GEM detector were used. The main goal of experiment was studying the behaviour of detectors response under irradiation by high intensity beams.

time was 0.15 and 2.0 sec.
0.15 sec
The information from the upstream scintillation counter which covers the beam also was used for a total beam intensity estimation. Number of counts in this counter happened in time from the previous trigger was recorded.
Having in addition information from the clock about time between triggers we are able to recover the time structure of the beam passed through our detectors.

Steps of Data Analysis
1. “Track” reconstruction with help of two Si (x and y strips with 50 μm pitch) stations.
2. Calculation expected track coordinate in each detector
3. Search for signals beyond the threshold around expected position
4. Calculation residuals R = Xexp – Xcoor
5. Calculation the total charge (sum up the signals from adjacent strips (pads))
6. Calculation of center of gravity using signals from adjacent strips, (σ ~ 0.4 - 0.6 mm)
7. Check the track validity using addition coordinate information from proportional chambers
Selection of tracks which have small residuals on selecteted chambers.

Conclusions
1. We did not observe a gas gain degradation up to intensity of 100 kHz/cm² in MWPCs with Ar/CO-2 and Xe/CO-2 mixtures.
2. We did not observe a spatial resolution worsening vs beam intensity for Dubna chamber (with a small pad size). A contribution of multiple scattering is significant in obtained spatial resolution for MWPCs (especially for Dubna chamber). 3. Pad size of MWPC should be optimized for the next beam test
16
• Minimize a multiple scattering • Use fast 2D coordinate detectors for beam profile definition (GEM)• Provide beam intensity variation with a long spill length (2 sec)• Try to decrease size of the beam (1-2 cm² ).• Increase number of DAQ channels.
For the next Run we need to
