ABSTRACT: The performance of gaseous detectors filled with heavy freon (C3F8) with a uniform or sharply nonuniform internal electric field is described. It is shown that, though the gas is electronegative, the detectors are capable of operating both in the ionization and avalanche modes and, in addition, all ionization electrons may be collected in the ionization mode. The detection efficiency of the cylindrical counters used in the avalanche mode is ∼10%. In the investigations, it has also been shown that the relative amplitude distribution of the cylindrical counter depends on whether the ionization is point or extended.Instruments and Experimental Techniques 01/2011; 54(1):47-53. · 0.33 Impact Factor

Negative Ion Drift and Diffusion in a TPC
near 1 Bar

Drift velocity and longitudinal diffusion measurements are reported for a Negative
Ion TPC (NITPC) operating with Helium + CS2 gas mixtures at total pressures
from 160 to 700 torr. Longitudinal diffusion at the thermal-limit was observed for
drift fields up to at least 700 V/cm in all gas mixtures tested. The results are
of particular interest in connection with mechanical simplification of Dark Matter
searches such as DRIFT, and for high energy physics experiments in which a low-Z,
low density, gaseous tracking detector with no appreciable Lorentz drift is needed
for operation in very high magnetic fields.
1 Introduction
A TPC which drifts negative ions (in this paper, CS−
was invented to reduce diffusion in three dimensions to its thermal (lower) limit
without applying a magnetic field[1,2,3]. This provides the highest 3-D space-
point resolution attainable for long drifts, without the power requirements and
expense of a magnet.
2) rather than electrons,
Such characteristics are particularly important for the development of the
DRIFT series of direction-sensitive gaseous detectors searching for WIMP dark
matter [4]. Three coordinates of good resolution on the recoil track are essential
for DRIFT, in order to measure the length and direction of tracks from low-
energy atom recoils produced by elastic scattering of massive WIMPs. The
standard solution of a TPC with magnetic field along the drift direction would
give good resolution in just two (transverse) coordinates. Furthermore the
Preprint submitted to Nuclear Instruments and Methods2 February 2008
Page 2
necessary large magnet is impractical for underground experiments due to
cost and electric power requirements.
Unlike the light electrons, negatively charged molecular ions are much more
efficiently thermally coupled to the bulk of the gas than drifting electrons
would be. In appropriate gas mixtures, the negative ion drift mobility is near
constant, and the rms 3-D diffusion follows the "low field" limiting behavior:
often up to reduced drift fields E/P of several tens of V/cm·torr [5].
Of course there are details to be reckoned with; the ions must form before the
primary ionization electrons drift far from their point of origin, or the resolu-
tion will be spoiled from the beginning. Also the negative ions must relinquish
their extra electron and produce a Townsend avalanche in the endcap gain
region. Both of these requirements have been shown to be amply met by CS2
at 40 torr and by mixtures of CS2 with small amounts of noble gases at 40
torr total pressure[5].
The DRIFT I experiment[4] (active mass 0.16 kg) operates with a pure CS2
fill at 40 torr , which is near-optimal pressure for a direction-sensitive WIMP
search with the DRIFT I spatial resolution[6].
To achieve the much higher target masses planned for the DRIFT II (5 kg)
and DRIFT III stages, higher target gas pressure and hence higher resolution
are required. However, the low recoil atom energy places an absolute upper
limit on the target gas density of less than 1 mg/cm3. For pure fills of the
medium-mass target gases that are most interesting as WIMP targets, this
would require running well below atmospheric pressure. The vacuum vessel
and support then become a major element of cost and complexity, as they are
in DRIFT I.
It is therefore of great interest to see whether a 1-bar gas mixture could be
found which would not shorten the recoil tracks below any hope of directional
detection, but would still give all the benefits of negative ion drift. In a pre-
vious paper, we reported on operation of GEM micropattern gain elements in
negative ion drift mixtures near 1 bar[8]. Raising the total pressure using a
Helium buffer gas is a natural solution to consider, since equal pressures of
Helium and CS2 have densities in the ratio of approximately 4/76 = 0.05.
This report is to show that indeed mixtures of this kind do work well as TPC
gases. The 0.9 bar limit in the present work was imposed by the apparatus and
is not a limit of the technique itself. Such mixtures can therefore be considered
for next-generation DRIFT detectors.
Page 3
Operation at 1 Bar also permits entirely new applications for NITPC. For
example, a NITPC using a helium mixture has been proposed for use as a
main tracking detector in the NLC [2]. The low drift speed of negative ions
(only tens to hundreds of meters per second) allows arbitrary orientation of the
drift direction relative to the momentum-measuring magnetic field, without
producing any significant E × B effects. The slow pulse repetition rate and
low duty factor of NLC-like machines greatly mitigates the negative effects of
the slow ion drift.
When combined with the very small diffusion broadening obtainable, the slow
negative ion drift velocity also brings phenomenal z-resolution (along with
good transverse resolution). With sufficient gas gain and amplifier sensitiv-
ity, single electrons or clusters could be detected individually as in the TEC
scheme, giving a number of statistical advantages for particle measurement[7].
2 Experimental Methods
The tests were carried out with a small test TPC in a stainless steel bell jar
with a simple gas manifold. A sketch of the test TPC is shown in Figure 2.
The drift volume was rectangular, 50 x 60 mm transversely and 80 mm long
in the drift (z) direction. The field cage was made of bare 500 micron diameter
wires spaced 5 mm apart in z, stretched around nylon supports at the four
corners. The drift-cathode was a solder-coated PCB with an Sn photocathode
attached to it with conducting epoxy.
Charge was liberated from the photocathode by pulsed UV illumination from
an EG&G Flash-Pak [9]. The Flash-Pak's short-wavelength limit in air is ∼230
nm. The standard internal capacitors of the Flash-Pak were augmented with
additional HV capacitors to give a stored energy of about 0.2 Joule per pulse.
The Flash-Pak was triggered by an external pulser, from which a time-zero
signal was also derived. This system was a very convenient and cost-effective
solution for generating variable-amplitude pulses of charge (photoelectrons)
in the TPC, which were sharply defined in time and space. It was found to be
essential to scrape the photocathode clean each time the detector was exposed
to air between gas fills.
UV light entered the bell jar through collimating apertures and a quartz win-
dow, passed through a hole in the endcap cathode of the test-TPC, and struck
the Sn photocathode. The endcap structure was an 8-wire MWPC. One cath-
ode of this MWPC (the "grid") terminated the drift-field region. This grid
was a transparent electrode made by epoxying a stainless steel mesh under
tension, to a solder-coated PCB which had a 50 x 50 mm window milled out of
it. The mesh[10] pitch was nearly 40 cm−1and the geometrical transparency

was 81%. The anode plane of 8 Au-plated W wires 15 µm in diameter, at a
pitch of 6 mm and with 50 g tension, was placed 6 mm behind the grid. The
anode wires were attached to a PCB anode frame using cyano-acrylate adhe-
sive and soldered to contacts on the PCB. The MWPC structure ended with
a second cathode (the "MWPC cathode"), which was simply a solder-coated
PCB. i
Negative "drift voltage" up to -10 kV was applied to the drift cathode; the grid
and MWPC cathode were grounded, and positive high voltage was applied to
the MWPC anodes. This setup has the obvious advantage that drift and gain
voltages can easily be adjusted independently.
Anode wires were read out individually through 1 nF high-voltage decoupling
capacitors and amplified (and inverted) by Amptek A225 amplifiers[11]. The
resulting positive signals were re-inverted by home-made common-emitter am-
plifiers, and then sent to the data acquisition system.
The gas system was based on a simple soft-soldered copper-tube manifold with
attachments for introduction of various gases and of organic vapor (CS2
from a small liquid reservoir. Base pressure with the rotary pump used was
Page 5
about 50 milli-torr. Negative ion drift chambers are very insensitive to con-
tamination with anything less electronegative than CS2 (for example, air). It
has been found that extraordinary precautions with gas purity are unneces-
sary. Gas mixtures were prepared by admitting the minor component into the
chamber first, followed by the major component. Pressures were monitored
with a mechanical gauge which is insensitive to the nature of the gas being
Longitudinal diffusion was measured using the Amptek outputs and a digi-
tal oscilloscope. The NITPC output pulse width and its delay relative to the
FlaskPak trigger signal were measured as a function of drift field, at con-
stant MWPC voltage and constant FlaskPak amplitude. The delay time was
converted into drift speed using the known geometry. The amplifier shaping
time was subtracted in quadrature from the measured width. The result was
then converted from pulse width in time to pulse width in distance by multi-
plying with the drift speed measured at that drift field. Space charge effects
were shown to be absent by checking the results at high and low FlashPak
3 Results and Discussion
Results for the four gas mixtures studied are shown in Table 3. To obtain the
tabulated diffusion "temperatures", the curves of FWHM diffusion width of
the anode signals vs. 1/√EDwere fitted to straight lines. The slopes were set
equal to the expected value for the FWHM of one coordinate in a 3-D diffusion
problem, obtained from Equation 1:
and the corresponding temperature computed.
The deviations of the tabulated temperatures from the actual room temper-
ature of 293 K probably reflect the limitations of the simple diffusion model
used, rather than any real physics. Ohnuki et al[5] using different detectors
and methods, also found diffusion temperatures differing significantly from
room temperature. Typical data is shown in Figures 3 and 4 for the case 200
torr CS2 plus 500 torr He. A line fitted to the diffusion curve has a y inter-
cept of -.01 rather than zero, and slope 1.30 rather than 1.49 expected from
Equation 2.
For the lower total-pressure mixtures, the He acts essentially as a buffer gas,
hardly changing the drift properties. The drift mobility in the 700 torr mixture

Days after steaming up the Internet with reports of an adult tape being shopped around, footage of former VH1 reality television star Tila Tequila's clip has surfaced online.
In the video teaser, the one-time Game rap rival raises eyebrows by showcasing a British accent.
IT'S OFFICIAL: Tila Tequila has multiple personalities … at least in her brand new sex tape … and in this clip, you'll meet Ashley, Tila's English speaking a**-flashing alter ego. As we reported, Vivid Entertainment will be releasing a hardcore sex tape before Christmas starring Tila and an unidentified male co-star, shagging like rabbits. The clip contains your typical sex tape nudity — don't worry, we blacked it out — but the interesting part isn't Tila's a** … it's her impressive attempt at an English accent. We don't know why she randomly broke into a Cockney drawl in the middle of her sex romp, but it's hilarious (disturbing?) to watch. (TMZ)
Back in 2011, Tila spoke to SOHH about getting over a beef with West Coast rapper Game after claiming he knocked her up.
"[laughs] Yeah, we're definitely [cool], there's no beef," Tila promised SOHH. "But I recently did see someone during the 4th of July and I know there's always gonna be a beef [with that person]. But you know what? He was in my town, in my hood, so he needed to back off and he did, so whatever. No more Game beef. New York City has been very good to me. I love New York. Everybody's been so nice to me. It's shocking — everybody has been extremely nice. I've made so many friends. I've only been here [since July] and I've already caused so much damage. [laughs] I've been getting crazy but I'm having so much fun. That's why I followed my heart." (SOHH)
In January 2010, Game appeared on TMZ and denied impregnating Tila.
Game stopped by the TMZ offices on Friday (Jan. 29) to deny rumors that he's the father of Tila Tequila's unborn baby. In fact, he claims he's never even met the reality star. "I ain't never had a conversation with her," he told TMZ founder Harvey Levin. "I wouldn't use 50 [Cent]'s stick." But he does reveal that his son's mother is expecting a child. (Rap-Up)
Tila previously talked to SOHH about no longer wanting to be associated with her past alias, "Tila Tequila."
"Tila Tequila was just an accidental screen name that I signed up with for Myspace," Tila told SOHH. "So what would have happened if my name was SexyGirl87? Would that be my name [now]? 'A Shot At Love W/ SexyGirl87′ It's like, come on, that was just a screen name and that's not my name. I would really appreciate it people, like, you don't have to call me 'Miss' if you don't want to, just call me Tila. But just don't call me Tequila. I hate that name. It's 'not' my name. It's had its use for the TVshow and everything but that show's gone and done." (SOHH)

A gas that knocks people out
This trope is being split off of Instant Sedation as of this TRS thread. Rolling Updates, Needs More Examples
In fiction, one of the easiest ways to incapacitate an opponent or group of opponents is to get them in a closed room and pump in Knockout Gas. Knockout gas is an area-effect form of Instant Sedation: as soon as the victims breathe it, they cough weakly a few times and then slump to the floor unconscious. Virtually always delivered as a visible fog, and often brightly colored as well, Knockout Gas can be delivered through special vents just for that purpose, or it can be pumped in through the regular ventilation system. As with other forms of Instant Sedation, dosage doesn't seem to matter; the effects last just long enough for maximum tension or drama; and if an antidote is needed, it usually takes the form of an injection, although something like smelling salts may work. Recovery tends to be just as fast as the onset, and the victims rarely suffer any lasting effects beyond, perhaps, a mild headache. Villains are far more likely to use Knockout Gas than heroes are. Subtrope of Instant Sedation. Sister Trope to Deadly Gas. Sister Trope to Tranquillizing Dart.

Area residents block road, clash with policemen
Police use tear gas, baton charge to control the crowdThe situation remained tense throughout the day and additional forces were deployed to maintain peace
NEW DELHI: More than a dozen people and policemen were injured in a clash that erupted after a 28-year-old businessman, who had challenged dacoits fleeing in a vehicle after breaking into his godown, was run over by them at Nand Nagri in North-East Delhi in the early hours of Saturday. The situation remained tense throughout the day and additional forces were deployed to maintain peace.
It was around 3-30 a.m. that Vikas Arora and his younger brother Naveen, who ran a general provisions store from the ground floor of their A-2 Block house in Nand Nagri, noticed from their balcony that some people were loading goods from their godown -- situated adjacent to their house -- into a truck.
The two brothers subsequently raised an alarm and ran after the thieves, who got panicky and decided to flee. While Vikas came in front of the truck and tried to stop it, his brother latched on to the wiper on the driver's side. The dacoits, however, did not stop and ran the vehicle over Vikas. Naveen was also dragged for several metres as he fought with the driver in a futile effort to force him to stop the vehicle. He sustained injuries on his face and legs.
Seeing a toll tax booth and a police check post at some distance, the dacoits -- who numbered more than six -- abandoned the vehicle and fled in different directions. While some of them went towards Jail Bandh Road, the others ran towards Tulsi Niketan, which falls in neighbouring Ghaziabad.
As the news spread, local residents gathered on the streets and blocked the Wazirabad Road on the Delhi-Ghaziabad border to protest against alleged delay by the police in reacting to the situation. Raising anti-police slogans, the mob also hurled stones on some buses and when the police intervened, they too came under heavy stone-throwing. About a dozen policemen sustained injuries.
Thereafter additional forces were summoned and the police lobbed more than 25 tear-gas shells to disperse the crowd. But when that did not work, the police resorted to a baton charge.
While the police claimed that they used mild force, local residents alleged that the police beat them up badly as a result of which about a dozen people were injured.
Police managed to stop the violence and clear the blockade after about three hours. Companies of the Delhi Armed Police and Rapid Action Force have now been deployed in the area for vigil.
Meanwhile, an inspection of the truck indicated that before striking at the premises of Aroras, the culprits had also committed thefts at other places.

The menu is composed mostly of wraps and balls (once again, not exactly original). The Braised Pork Roll ($8) is essentially tender pulled pork drizzled with hoisin sauce, while the Al Pastor Roll ($8) features sliced pork shoulder saturated by a vinegary chile sauce that might not convert any taco aficionados but gets the job done.
The real gem of the Pigs Feet Under truck is the use of scallion pancakes instead of tortillas for wraps, which might excite anyone who's a fan of the Shandong beef rolls at 101 Noodle Express. Even more amazingly, they make the scallion pancakes to order, rolling out the dough and cooking them on a griddle so that they arrive hot, pliable and pleasantly chewy -- like a fresh flour tortilla with some Chinese flair.Combine everything together and you've got a wrap with surprising heft. The best part being that, unlike most wraps, where a stale cold tortilla functions as basically an edible napkin, the outer wrap at Pigs Feet Under is one of the best parts of the dish.
The balls are a bit more of a mixed bag -- despite the addition of chorizo and lap cheong sausage (how's that for fusion?), the Gouda and Cheddar Mac n' Cheese Balls ($5) aren't bursting with as much spicy flavor as you might guess. The Sofkey Balls ($5), made with coarse-ground grits, andouille sausage, pepper jack and green onions, are a better bet, especially when combined with sweet-tangy tomato chutney.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Beauty and the Beast'
Beauty and the Beast is probably one of the most beautiful and poignant fairy stories a child is ever likely to read and indeed is probably now one of the most popular thanks to having been "Disneyed" to the limit by book, film and stage play. However, in this stylish and rather stunning version of the tale Geraldine McCaughrean has managed to turn back time to present a simple story which perfectly captures the true essence of the mystery and romance of young Beauty and her unlikely hero.
Gary Blythe¹s striking oil paintings add a depth and lustre to the retelling of this classic tale, reveals the drama of the world of Beauty and her Beast with a clever blend of darkness and light which so perfectly complements the richness of McCaughrean's text. This combination makes the book perfect "read-together" material for younger children or a read-alone pleasure for older children who will revel in the magical reality of the words and pictures.
There can be few people who are not familiar with Beauty and the Beast in some form or other, but Geraldine McCaughrean and Gary Blythe have worked together to ensure the tale will live on through further generations without the aid of saccharin. (Age 6 and over) --Susan Harrison

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Canterbury Tales'
At the end of Zizou Corder's best-selling Lionboy, Charlie Ashanti--a boy who could speak cat--was left aboard the Orient Express bound for Venice. In his company are a prehistoric beast and six lions he helped free from a Floating Circus in Paris and from the clutches of a nasty, mysterious Lion trainer called Maccomo. Next door to him on the train is a friendly Bulgarian King called Boris who has taken Charlie and the lions under his protection. Charlie's parents have been kidnapped by the agents of the sinister Corporacy, probably for inventing the cure to Asthma, so he must find them, and the lions would like to return to their ancestral home in Morocco. It is under these circumstances that Corders Lionboy trilogy embarks upon its latest chapter. What a beginning!
Charlie and the Lions get to Venice and become involved in a revolution there. Charlie has the brilliant idea of introducing Primo, the giant Smilodon, to the Doge, as a cover for an escape attempt. After all, he has the lions of St Mark's, or at least their statues. The Venetians think that Charlie is an Angel and that the mysterious creature is sent by God to save them. But theres still Rafi Sadler to deal with, implicated in Charlies kidnap, and the furious Maccomo the lion-tamer. Add a shipwreck, a really good chameleon called Ninu, and a few more shocking surprises and youve got the recipe for a stunningly entertaining sequel and riotously good yarn.
Corders stories are action-packed and great fun to read. Theyre pure adventure for young readers with not the slightest whiff of a crossover accusation coming anywhere near them. The concluding volume, Lionboy: The Truth, should be a corker. (Age 9 and over) --John McLay

But it's not just being strapped to a kite and sent up into the sky that is dangerous for Haoyou. Beyond the horizon, an army is travelling east towards the circus, the army of Khublai Khan.

Modern writers rarely reach back to the feudal era as the setting for their novels, but that doesn't mean there isn't rich material from the age. At least there is in the hands of Geraldine McCaughrean. Her novel, A Little Lower Than the Angels, which won a Whitbread Prize in 1987, features a host of vivid characters, including Gabriel, a stonemason's apprentice who leaves an abusive master to play the part of an angel in a traveling play.

What was it really like when the heavens opened and the world drowned?
Everyone knows the story of the Flood: The man called on by God to build an ark. The animals that came on board two by two. The rain that fell for forty days and forty nights.
But what about the rest of the story? What about Noah's wife and daughters-in-law? And what if there was a daughter as well? How would it feel to head into the unknown, with only each other and all those animals? What would it be like to turn away friends and neighbors struggling in the water? Could all of it really be part of God's Plan -- the hunger and pain and fear?
Carnegie Medalist Geraldine McCaughrean transforms the familiar story into a provocative new tale that is told through the voices of Noah's family, and even the animals. At the heart is a daughter who questions her father when no one else will.

His older sister and guardian, Prudence, had no tolerance for his irrational musings, but she hadn't seen the milk saucer licked dry day after day.
One morning in England in 1919, 11-year-old Phelim's life upends when he enters the kitchen and discovers a crowd of "stark-naked men and women about as tall as his waist, shaggy and matted with filth." These wild, scrabbly "prehistoric dwarfs" are glashans, people who tend the fields, invisible to humans. The whole motley crew has emerged from hiding to save the house from the Hatchlings, and for some reason they are counting on Phelim Green (newly dubbed Jack o' Green) to stop the Worm from waking up and demolishing the world.
The quirky, Oz-like odyssey that follows--fast-paced, powerful, and poetically told--is awash with Old Magic. As young Phelim plunges toward his quest, he wrenches himself out of the psychological clutches of his derisive older sister and into his own skin. Can Jack o' Green, with the help of a Fool (a "smelly old derelict" named Sweeney), a Maiden (a white-haired, upside-down-eyed girl he meets along the way named Alexia), and a Horse (the snickering "Obby Oss"), truly find the dreaded, slumbering Stoor Worm before its murderous hatchlings wreak havoc on Britain?
Award-winning British author and mythologist Geraldine McCaughrean (The Bronze Cauldron) draws on centuries-old folklore to create this rich, breathtaking fantasy. Sometimes terrifying, strangely beautiful, The Stones Are Hatching asks its readers to respect and appreciate the earth--a sacred place where everything is destroyed when we wage war, take our harvests for granted, and deny its magic. (Ages 12 and older) --Karin Snelson

Madeleine Albright admits colossal failure of her 2008 endorsement
**Written by Doug Powers
Not that I'd ever be tempted, but whoever Madeleine Albright endorses for president in 2016 (::cough:: Hillary ::cough::) will get an extra lack of zero consideration now.
Here's a quote from Albright's 2008 endorsement of Barack Obama:
"I am supporting Barack Obama because I think he is a remarkable leader and exactly what we need in the 21st century," Albright said. "He is exactly what we need because the world is a mess – that's the diplomatic term."
Fast "forward" to 2014 — Sunday morning to be specific:
'THE WORLD IS A MESS:' Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright http://t.co/RQN74L7ybs
— NYDN Politics (@NYDNPolitics) July 27, 2014
What a shock — the "rainbows, gumdrops & unicorns" thing didn't pan out? It's almost like Albright's wrong all the time.
She'll still blame Bush though.

By Peter Zuckerman and Noelle CrombieThe Oregonian
Campers tackled a peeping Tom suspect at an Estacada campground over the weekend, then tied him to a tree until Clackamas County deputies arrived.
Deputies cited Beaverton resident Richard H. Berkey, 63, with public indecency.
The 2006 incident was reported to police but did not result in charges.
One of the campers, Jason Dugan, said he and others talked to Berkey about his life and activities before police arrived and passed that information along to authorities. Berkey did not return a phone call requesting comment.
Here's what happened, according to Detective Jim Strovink of the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office and two of the campers, Dugan and Michelle Brandow:
Several friends were playing chess, eating and relaxing early Saturday evening, when they heard rustling in an area the women used as an open latrine. Dugan went to investigate and saw a figure running from the area and tackled the man.
With help from two other campers, Charles Gelder and Mitch Nodland, Dugan led Berkey to the group's campsite and tied him to a tree. Another camper left to call police.
While waiting for authorities, Dugan, Brandow and Berkey then had what Strovink described as a "cordial conversation" as Brandow snapped photos. When Berkey's conversation became too graphic, Brandow said she walked away. "That was enough for me to hear," she said.
Police found several maps of campgrounds in Berkey's pickup truck, including guides to the Gifford-Pinchot, Deschutes and Willamette national forests and the Tillamook State Forest.

Taking a cue from Martin Luther's 95 theses, Channing Crisler offers 9.5 Theses Regarding the Need to Learn Biblical Greek.
1. The Greek New Testament is the real New Testament.
2. We already tried to let someone guard the truth for us.
3. Without knowledge of Greek, you will always be dependent on the decisions of the commentators.
4. Substituting computer software for a knowledge of Greek is like replacing a paintbrush with your finger.
5. Word studies do not equal biblical exegesis.
6. God chose 1st Century Koine Greek not 21st Century English.
7. Something is always lost in translation.
8. You'll have to slow down.
9. Big ideas must come from the smallest details of the Greek.
9.5. God's approved workmen should use the best techniques and tools available to them.
You can read the full article along with his explanation for each of the 9.5 theses here: LINK.
