Description
A drift chamber, which makes possible the identification of charged particles in the momentum range 5--100 GeV/c by taking 192 samples of the ionization which they produce in 1.6 cm of 80% argon--20% CO2, has been constructed and tested. It is 1 x 1 x 3 m in the sampling direction and is operated at a pressure slightly above atmospheric. It has been found to be very stable in operation and to give an average resolution for the average charge distribution of 8.13 +- 0.18% (FWHM) in agreement with the predicted value of 8.4%
