Description
A drift chamber system containing approx. 250 wires for use in a double arm magnetic spectrometer experiment at the Brookhaven National Laboratory AGS was designed and constructed. Basic experimental constraints were the need for good detection efficiency, a reasonably linear relationship between drift time and position, long term stability in a high particle flux environment, and ease of construction. Electronics for reading out this drift time information with much the same set of restrictions was constructed
