“…Figure 11.12 is a schematic cross section of one of the first large arrays of straw drift chambers for the MARK II detector, including 552 single-wire tubes; made with thin polymer cathodes, metal-coated on the inner side, the straws typically have a thickness of 50 to 100 µm, corresponding to a few tens of a per cent of radiation length (Ford et al, 1987). Planar assemblies of straw arrays, usually glued together in modules to improve mechanical stability, have been used in many experiments (Arai et al, 1996;Armstrong et al, 1999;Ogren, 1995;Fourletov, 2004;Bychkov et al, 2006;Bachmann et al, 2004).…”

Widely used in high-energy and particle physics, gaseous radiation detectors are undergoing continuous development. The first part of this book provides a solid background for understanding the basic processes leading to the detection and tracking of charged particles, photons, and neutrons. Continuing then with the development of the multi-wire proportional chamber, the book describes the design and operation of successive generations of gas-based radiation detectors, as well as their use in experimental physics and other fields. Examples are provided of applications for complex events tracking, particle identification, and neutral radiation imaging. Limitations of the devices are discussed in detail. Including an extensive collection of data and references, this book is ideal for researchers and experimentalists in nuclear and particle physics.

“…The development of techniques capable of manufacturing single-wire counters with thin plastic walls, the so-called straws, permits the realisation of large arrays of light detectors. Straw drift chambers are used for the Large Area Tracking (LAT) of the Common Muon and Proton Apparatus for Structure and Spectroscopy (COMPASS) at CERN [19].…”

Bose Institute is Asia’s first modern research centre devoted to interdisciplinary research and bears a century old tradition of research excellence. In the experimental high-energy physics (EHEP) detector laboratory of Bose Institute, Kolkata, we are working on the R&D of Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM), straw tube detector for future heavy ion physics experiments and also developing low resistive bakelite Resistive Plate Chamber (RPC), keeping in mind high particle rate handling capacity. The main goal of our research program is the stability study and ageing study of gaseous detectors mentioned above. In this review article, the details of the R&D program of GEM detector, straw tube and RPC detectors carried out during the last five years is reported.

“…The detectors which are based on thin wall straws with a diameter from 4 to 10 mm are widely used today as coordinate detectors, for example in the experiments [1][2][3][4]. These detectors have following advantages: high spatial resolution, simple structure and low price.…”
