Description
HELIX (High Energy Light Isotope eXperiment) is a balloon experiment designed to measure abundance of cosmic ray isotopes from hydrogen to neon, with a particular interest in abundances of beryllium isotopes. HELIX aim to provide essential data to study the cosmic ray propagation in our galaxy. The Drift Chamber Tracker (DCT) in HELIX is a multi-wire gas drift chamber designed to measure the position of incident cosmic rays. It is located inside a magnet, bending the trajectory of incoming particles through 72-layers of tracking, enabling the measurement of the momentum of incoming particles. I will present my study on maximum drift distance on a wire-by-wire analysis of the DCT data and the temperature dependency of the drift velocity during the flight.
