Cathode readout with stripped resistive drift tubes

  • 1. Joint Inst. for Nuclear Research, Dubna (Russian Federation)

Description

A straw tube drift chamber prototype has been constructed and tested. The straw tube material is mylar film covered with a carbon layer with a resistivity of 0.5, 30 and 70 kΩ/□. Both the anode wire and the cathode strip signals were detected to study the behaviour of the chamber in the presence of X-ray ionization. The construction and the results of the study are presented.
