Description
A tracking telescope employing six layers of Al drift tubes 50 cm long, with diameter d=3 cm and wall thickness 500 μm, has been built and successfully operated with a 40% Ar-60% iC4H10 gas mixture at atmospheric pressure. The tube cells, with a 100 μm thick Cu-Be wire strung along the axis, enter streamer mode operation at V=4.6 kV, and feature full efficiency and local resolution of ≤60 μm. (orig.)
