Electrostatic Calculations

We performed electrostatic calculation with Elmer FEM code to chech the uniformity of the drift field in the field cage and look for potential sparking points.

Dimensions of the chamber

32 cm long
17cm diameter

Dimensions of the field cage

14 cm diameter
1.5 cm separation from the gas chamber
3 cm separation between cathote and the chamber

Characteristics of the cage

Flexible Kapton field cage with copper electrodes printed on one side
83 equipotential strips (3 mm wide 0.5 mm gap)
Drift field 200 V/cm
Gating grid placed 2 cm above the MICROMEGAS detector
