Mechanical resonances in the read-out chambers of the ALICE TPC

It is reported on a subtle aspect of gated multi-wire proportional chambers (MWPCs) that was recently observed in the read-out chambers of the ALICE TPC: periodic switching of the gating grid causes sizable (order of 10 pm) mechanical oscillations of its wires. Moreover, theses oscillations resemble...

description It is reported on a subtle aspect of gated multi-wire proportional chambers (MWPCs) that was recently observed in the read-out chambers of the ALICE TPC: periodic switching of the gating grid causes sizable (order of 10 pm) mechanical oscillations of its wires. Moreover, theses oscillations resemble themselves as a systematic pick-up signal on the data with signal heights comparable to those of minimum-ionising particles.
