Abstrakt: A method for measuring the properties of a working gas (the electron-drift velocity, the electron diffusion, and the probability of electron capture by electronegative impurities) is described. The method is based on the digital processing of the anode and cathode pulses of an ionization chamber after passing through a waveform digitizer. The measured values of the drift velocity, the diffusion coefficient, and the electron-capture probability are presented for various argon–methane mixtures. The results may be used in designing, adjusting, and operating ionization chambers, as well as in carrying out original investigations of the phenomena occurring during the drift of electrons in various gas mixtures.
