Setup-I
• Two MWPCs in serial were used in setup-I.
• A mixing station fids one gas line.• One sensor for temperature and one
for pressure.• The MWPC configured of two cathodes
(Al-Kapton foils) and on anode (multi-wire plane).

Gain in MWPC
11
Ageing study :1. Gain is the major parameter to monitor detector performance.
2. Gain normalization: Gain ratio of two detectors (ageing and reference).
Extrapolating gas density effect by fitting approach (needs precise measurement of gas temperature and pressure).
3. Variation of normalized gain should be < 1%

1. Cathode of Al-Kapton foil has been replaced with a multi-wire plane
2. Premixed gas bottle will be used instead of a mixing station (temperature effect on the MFCs).
3. Moving platforms have to be presented (to avoid the continuous exposure of 55Fe-source and to test two materials or more in parallel).
4. Metal housing of chamber instead of fiberglass .5. Individual gas lines (to avoid any pressure drop in-between the chambers).

Summary
32
Precise measurement of ageing are necessary to implement studies in reasonable time and in real conditions.
Very clean and stable apparatus dedicated to ageing studies is operational in GSI DetLab.
Ageing acceleration by x-ray needs to be investigated. Obtained gain stability is < 0.5% peak-to-peak. Cleaning and degreasing agent “A062-K21 hebro®lan TN” reveals
ageing effect on the MWPC. Ageing test for two materials have been carried out (accelerated by x-
ray generator): RTV-3145 : R=3180 %/C/cm Gerband 705: R=300%/C/cm
