Measurements (vacuum) Originally the chambers were used inside of beam pipe under a pressure of ~ 10 -2 torr Beam profiles Chamber A Chamber B Channel Channel number number 16 mm 140 mm Beam profile for focused (chamber A) and wide beam (chamber B) Num ber of δ -electrons Number of � -electrons per proton (measured with V bias = 0): chamber A – 0.03, chamber B – 0.01 4 th workshop on NBI, 7-11 November 2003 Valeri Falaleev(CERN) & Yuri Sviridov (IHEP, Protvino) 6

Measurements (vacuum) - 2 Linearity spill duration varied from 20 ns to 5 � s chamber signal is a sum of 14 central wires signals intensity measured by BCT V bias = 0 Chamber signal, Chamber A relative units 1.0• 10 13 Beam intensity, protons/ cm 2 the same dependency was observed for chamber B too 4 th workshop on NBI, 7-11 November 2003 Valeri Falaleev(CERN) & Yuri Sviridov (IHEP, Protvino) 7

Measurements (vacuum) - 3 Dependence of signal on pressure and bias voltage chamber signal is a sum of all wires signals Chamber signal, P ~ 1 Torr relative units P ~ 2x10 -1 Torr P ~ 5x10 -2 Torr P ~ 5x10 -3 Torr Bias voltage, V for V bias = 0 the signal is equal for all pressures after first 1-2 years of use all chambers were operated with V bias = 0 4 th workshop on NBI, 7-11 November 2003 Valeri Falaleev(CERN) & Yuri Sviridov (IHEP, Protvino) 8
