An online gas composition monitor detector: The ALICE Goofie — •Juan Francisco Castillo Hernandez — Gesellschaft für Schwerionenforschung (GSI)
The gas composition of the ALICE TPC is constantly monitored using a stand-alone detector integrated into the TPC gas system. From precision measurements of the drift velocity and gas gain one can obtain a precise measure of the gas composition. In this contribution we describe the detector set-up, the procedure used to extract the gas composition for the ternary gas mixture (Ne(90),CO2(10),N2(5),normalyzed to 105) as well as the data acquisition and analysis chain.
