Radial drift chambers for CDF forward tracking

Creators

Description

Radial wire drift chambers are built for the Collider Detector of Fermilab to cover forward and backward regions between 20 and 100 cones which will provide good azimuthal position information of tracks, good multi-track, and high rate capability. Results obtained from a prototype chamber show /phi/ resolution of sigma /sub rms/ approx. = 130 μm and a charge division accuracy of 0.7 percent along the wire (theta,r) running in the saturated avalanche mode
