Description

During operation of EXO-200 a phenomenon referred to as glitches was observed, these glitches are essentially transient signals recorded on the high voltage supply line to the TPC. The HV R&D program at Carleton is investigating the possible connection between glitches and breakdowns in a mock-up of the EXO-200 TPC called miniEXO. In order to better inform experimental work a model in LTSpice has been created for the miniEXO TPC and has been used to simulate first order breakdown events.
