MWPC

In general, the particle detectors or detectors, can measure some exact parameters of the particles which went through them. The history showed us many solution of the measurement technics, one of the most important is MWPC (Multi Wire Proportional Chamber). This kind of chamber uses the phenomena of the electron avalanche which leads to a measureable signal if a particle goes through the chamber. It contains two wire planes, so we can tell the exact position of the particle in 2D. The next step when we put a few chambers next to each other, so we can study the trajectories of the particles. At this moment in a Hungarian-Japanese collaboration we make a lot of measurements next to the Sakurajima volcano and the main goal is to make density maps of the inner structure.
