R. Bock et al., WIRE FIXATION FOR PROPORTIONAL AND DRIFT CHAMBERS USING A CU-TE ALLOY, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section A, Accelerators, spectrometers, detectors and associated equipment, 336(1-2), 1993, pp. 128-131
Using a Cu-Te alloy we have developed a simple and reliable method to
fix and electrically connect wires in drift and proportional chambers.
The method lends itself to mass production and has been employed in t
wo detector systems: The endcap hadron calorimeter proportional tube c
hambers of the L3 experiment and the L3 forward/backward muon drift ch
ambers.
