Description
A two-cell prototype of the SLD central drift chamber has been tested using CO2-isobutane (92%-8%) at 1 atm. Average single wire resolution of 55 μm was achieved. Charge division tests indicate a resolution of the final design of < or approx. 0.5% of wire length. dE/dχ separation of π/e should be useful up to at least 7 GeV/c. 100 MHz waveform digitizers were used in parallel with conventional timing and integration techniques. The results show equivalent performance for single tracks and a two pulse resolution better than 1 mm. (orig.)
