Development of a flexible gas supply system for gaseous detectors — •Jan Glowacz, Jochen Kaminski, and Klaus Desch — Physikalisches Institut, University of Bonn

For testing and operation of gaseous detectors a well controlled supply of gas mixtures is of high importance. We have developed a compact and mobile gas system for operation both in the laboratory as well as in test beam environments. Its small dimensions and light weight facilitate transportation and setup at different locations. It is laid out to control the gas flow and gas pressure in the detector for premixed gases or gas mixtures with two components. The system can be controlled via web browser interface and includes recording of important environmental parameters such as temperatures, gas pressure inside and outside the detector and flow rates. First tests with a detector have shown that the gas system can operate at a wide range of gas pressures of 0.3-1.5 bar.
