    We present the experimental setup and the results of the gas gain uniformity tests performed as part of the quality control of the multiwire proportional chambers produced at CERN for the LHCb Muon system. The test provides a relative gas gain measurement over the whole chamber sensitive area. It is based on the analysis of the pulse height spectrum obtained when the chamber is exposed to {a^241}Am radioactive source. Since the measurement is normalized to the peak of a precise pulse generator, the gain uniformity can also be evaluated among different gas gaps and different chambers

    We report the development of a voltage preamplifier for use with ionizing particles detection. It has been designed to match the requirements of a test station for muon Multiwire Proportional Chambers (MWPC) of the LHCb experiment at CERN. Simulation results and bench test measurements are presented, which exhibit the main circuit features: gain close to 500, rise time below 20 ns, bandwidth exceeding 30 MHz, input noise lower than . Other results that demonstrate the applicability of the device in other contexts, specially with X-Ray imaging systems based on position sensitive detectors and proportional counters, are presented

    Aborda detectores de raios –X sensíveis à posição que permitem medir o número de fótons e suas posições de incidência. Utiliza os detectores em sistemas tomográficos computadorizados para realizar testes não destrutivos de baixo custo em objetos de pequenas dimensões. Avalia o potencial dos detectores a partir de tomografias de objetos testes em diferentes condições. Calibra o sistema tomográfico e determina parâmetros de utilização para avaliação uantitativa da imagem através de tomografias em corpos de prova de materiais homogêneos. Apresenta os resultados obtidos com um detector sensível à posição unidimensional contendo gás Argônio com 10% de metano à 2 atm, janela de carbono de 8cm de comprimento, 2 mm de largura e 272 µm de espressura
