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).
