| Popis: |
A study of the localization properties of a single-element Resistive Plate WELL (RPWELL) detector is presented. The detector comprises of a single-sided THick Gaseous Electron Multiplier (THGEM) coupled to a segmented readout anode through a doped silicate-glass plate of 10$^{10}$ $\Omega\cdot$cm bulk resistivity. Operated in ambient Ne/(5$\%$CH$_4$) gas, the detector has been investigated with 150 GeV muons at CERN-SPS. Signals induced through the resistive plate on anode readout strips were recorded with APV25/SRS electronics. The experimental results are compared with that of Monte Carlo simulations. The effects of various physics phenomena on the position resolution are discussed. The measured position resolution in the present configuration is 0.28 mm RMS - compatible with the holes-pattern of the multiplier. Possible ways for improving the detector position resolution are suggested. |
