Multi-anode wire straw tube tracker

  • 1. Department of Physics, Duke University, Durham, NC 27708 (United States)

Description

We report on a test of a straw tube detector design having several anode (sense) wires inside a straw tube. The anode wires form a circle inside the tube and are read out independently. This design could solve several shortcomings of the traditional single wire straw tube design such as double hit capability and stereo configuration.
