A. Andryakov et al., ELECTROSTATIC DIGITAL METHOD OF WIRE TENSION MEASUREMENT FOR KLOE DRIFT CHAMBER, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section A, Accelerators, spectrometers, detectors and associated equipment, 409(1-3), 1998, pp. 63-64
For the first time an electrostatic method of wire tension measurement
(WTM) is used for drift chamber construction. It became possible due
to the use of a digital approach to sense the wire oscillations induce
d by an alternating potential. The method has excellent signal-to-nois
e ratio, high accuracy which is well above the stringing requirements
and reasonable measuring time. The WTM system implemented in a CAMAC-M
achintosh-Labview environment is now in use for the KLOE drift chamber
stringing control and for monitoring the end-plate deformation. (C) 1
