Table 2. Specifications of current ETCC, ETCC type-A and ETCC type-B.

  current ETCC ETCC type-A ETCC type-B
TPC volume 10 cm × 10 cm × 16 cm 20 cm ϕ (in diameter) × 20 cm 30 cm × 30 cm × 30 cm
TPC gas Ar and C2H6 (90%: 10%) at 1.5 atm Ar and CF4 (50%: 50%) at 2 atm CF4 at 3 atm
effective detection area (for 662 keV gammas) ~0.01 cm2 ~0.2 cm2 ~10 cm2
minimum exposure time ~100 min. several min. several sec.

Note that a minimum exposure time is estimated as gammas detected with 2σ significance in each pixel in the condition of 2 μSv/h radiation, which is the same condition as the location (C).
