Description

Penning transfer rates were derived from measured gas gain data with Micromegas (MMs) detector in Xe-TMA mixtures at different pressures. In the calculations Parallel Plate Chamber (PPC) model was assumed. Simulations of the experimental gas gains in C3H8- and CH4-based TEG mixtures indicates that dissociative excitations of the molecules and non-equlibrium effects for the different anode wires should be taken into account. The transfer rates in Ne-CO2 mixtures interestingly drop at high CO2 fractions. In addition, excimers, homenuclear associative ionisations and impurities of the gas can play important roles for the fitting the gain curves of pure Ne measurements.
