Experimental determination of the Townsend coefficient for Argon-CO2 gas mixtures at high fields

Instrumentation and Detectors 2009-11-10 v1

Abstract

The first Townsend coefficient for Ar-CO2 based gas mixtures has been measured over a wide range of reduced electric field. The experimental setup and the measurement technique are described here. A linear superposition model has also been successfully applied.
