Delay wire chamber (DWC) is a relatively inexpensive gaseous detector that enables tracking of charged particles with high resolution. Here, design and simulation of a DWC that is suitable for beam diagnostics measurements at low-energy accelerators are described. We report on the mechanical construction of such a chamber at the Kandilli Detector, Accelerator and Instrumentation Laboratory, and the tests performed with cosmic muons and radioactive sources.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
