Description

An accuracy of 37 μm in the determination of coordinates is obtained with 6-mm-wide cathode strips and an anode-cathode spacing of 4.8 mm. It is shown that the appearance of a self-quenching streamer discharge in the proportional chamber results in a deterioration of the spatial resolution of the instrument. The time resolution of the chambers is 16 nsec
