Description
The performance of an electroluminescence (EL) Time Projection Chamber (TPC) with a multi avalanche photodiode (APD) readout was studied in pure xenon at 3.8 bar. Inter- calibration and reconstruction methods were developed and applied to the data yielding energy resolutions as good as 5.3±0.1 % FWHM for 59.5 keV gammas from 241Am. This result was re- produced with a Monte Carlo (MC) based on Geant4 and Penelope which predicted 5.2 % FWHM for the used setup. Point resolutions of ≈ 0.5 mm were obtained with a pitch of 15 mm between the APDs. These results show that multi-APD readout is a competitive technology for EL detectors filled with pure xenon.
