The SπRIT Time Projection Chamber
Abstract
The SAMURAI Pion Reconstruction and Ion-Tracker Time Projection Chamber (SπRIT TPC) was designed to enable measurements of heavy ion collisions with the SAMURAI spectrometer at the RIKEN Radioactive Isotope Beam Factory and provide constraints on the Equation of State of neutron-rich nuclear matter. The SπRIT TPC has a 50.5 cm drift length and an 86.4 cm × 134.4 cm pad plane with 12,096 pads that are equipped with the Generic Electronics for TPCs readout electronics. The SπRIT TPC allows excellent reconstruction of particles and provides isotopic resolution for pions and other light charged particles across a wide range of energy losses and momenta. Details of the SπRIT TPC are presented, along with discussion of the TPC performance based on cosmic ray and experimental data.
