Abstract

For noble gas Time Projection Chambers (TPCs) in the field of rare event searches, operation of high voltage to generate an electric field is a key point. We designed a new structure of electrodes to shape a strong and uniform drift field without electric discharge, in which electrodes of two different radius are used. We also developed Cockcroft-Walton voltage multiplier as a high voltage generator inside a pressure vessel. We achieved -30.0 kV output and examined such kind of voltage generator is feasible as a high voltage supplier in a TPC.
