Performance of a prototype drift chamber with 100 MHz FADC readout
Description
Rectangular drift chamber cells have been constructed and tested using an electron test beam facility at DESY. A systematic study of the time, space, energy and double track resolution with a 100 MHz FADC readout is presented. The spatial resolution is 100 μm to 120 μm and the double track resolution is 2.5 mm with an Ar:C2H6 (50:50) gas mixture at atmospheric pressure. The dE/dx resolution obtained corresponds to 6% resolution for a 72-layer chamber. (author)
