Prelude

• Two gases are used: 70/30 and 90/10 Ar/CO2
• Two fADC clock settings are used: 125 and 200 MHz

• Drift time spectra (DCOG method is used):

90/10 Ar/CO2 drift time spectra.

70/30 Ar/CO2 drift time spectra.

• Red line is fit to get absolute minimal drift time
  • Best tracking results if extracted minimal drift time + 1 time sample

• Samples per rising edge - 2 extra samples 125 -> 200 MHz

Samples/rising edge - 70/30 Ar/CO2 - 125~MHz clock.

Samples/rising edge - 70/30 Ar/CO2 - 200~MHz clock.

• Time-2-distance relation:
  • GARFIELD is used. To get best resolutions out of it:
    • 68/32 Ar/CO2 is put in GARFIELD for 70/30 gas
    • 89/11 Ar/CO2 is put in GARFIELD for 90/10 gas
    • +-6% CO2 can give 100~ns difference

Resolutions

• Difference in gases - blue line is model prediction:

Resolutions (in um) as a function of distance to the wire (in mm) for 70/30.

Resolutions (in um) as a function of distance to the wire (in mm) for 90/10.

• 90/10 worse because shorter drift times.
