Abstract

In this work, we present a physical model that links fundamental theory of electron kinetics on weakly ionized gases to direct measurements of induced pulsed signals in a Resistive Plate Chamber. It is also presented preliminary measurements of electron transport parameters in nitrogen obtained for reduced electric fields ranging from 129Td up to 216Td. These parameters were indirectly determined by fitting the proposed model to the time dependent pulse current induced on the parallel plate chamber electrodes by an electron avalanche triggered near the cathode by a N-2 laser pulse. Experimental results are compared with previous measurements, Monte Carlo simulation results from Magboltz and results from classical two-term expansion Boltzmann equation solution from Bolsig+.
