  • Abstract
    The lifetime of drift tubes operated with Ar–CH4–N2 91–5–4, Ar–CH4–N2–CO2 94–3–2–1, Ar–CF4–N2–CO2 94.5–0.5–2–3 and Ar–CO2 80–20 is studied under various conditions. H2O and ethanol were successfully tested as a remedy against ageing. thod of glow discharge in argon is used to clean the cathode and inefficient wires and first results of this treatment are presented.
