450 prototype of the central drift chamber for BES and results of cosmic ray test
- 1. Institute of High Energy Physics, Academia Sinica, Beijing
Description
We describe the function, structure, amplitude characteristics and results of cosmic ray test of a prototype of the central drift chamber for the Beijing Spectrometer (BES). It was found that if appropriate high voltage is applied to the field wires a homogeneous signal amplitude from different layers of the chamber can be obtained. The drift velocity deduced by track reconstruction is 5.3 cm/μs. The spatial resolution is about 134 μm
