Keywords: | Alpha particle; Gas electron multiplier; Tracking charge-coupled device (CCD) | Issue Date: | Feb-2002 | Publisher: | IEEE | Citation: | IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science. 49:1 (2002) 281-284 | Abstract: | A tracking device based on gas electron multiplier scintillation using a high-resolution cooled charge-coupled device (CCD) camera was developed. The CCD is sensitive to the 400-1000 nm band, and standard glass photographic lenses are used. The active gas is an Ar-CF4 mixture. The prototype detector is described and images of single alpha tracks are presented. The light yield and detector performance for several other gaseous mixtures, such as 4He-CF4, are also investigated | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/12909 | ISSN: | 0018-9499 | DOI: | 10.1109/TNS.2002.998654 | Rights: | openAccess |
