Description
This paper summarizes measurements of the drift velocity and position resolution in drift chambers using helium gas mixtures. Mixtures of helium-CO2-isobutane and of helium-dimethylether have been tried. Good spatial resolutions are obtained. A design of a drift chamber for a B Factory is described. The chamber has only 0.12% of a radiation length (gas plus wire) over a 60 cm tracking distance, giving a momentum resolution δpt/pt approximately 0.35% for low momentum tracks
