“…The unique position accuracy properties of the detectors were soon exploited in experiments. I participated in the initial study of the kaon form factor in a K-e scattering experiment at Fermi National Laboratory in Batavia by a group of the Joint Institute of Nuclear Research (JINR Dubna) led by Edick Tsyganov (Filatova et al, 1977); in Figure 1.11 I pose with the two drift chamber telescopes of the experiment installed in a beam line at Fermilab.…”

“…High-accuracy drift chambers of the described design have been used in experiments requiring single-track position resolutions of 100 µm or better, as in charged particle spectrometers (Filatova et al, 1977;Chiavassa et al, 1978), channeling experiments (Esbensen et al, 1977) and other applications. The picture in Figure 9.13 shows the large HADC used for tracking in the Omega spectrometer at CERN; Figure 9.14 is a close view of the central wire plane under microscope inspection.…”

Widely used in high-energy and particle physics, gaseous radiation detectors are undergoing continuous development. The first part of this book provides a solid background for understanding the basic processes leading to the detection and tracking of charged particles, photons, and neutrons. Continuing then with the development of the multi-wire proportional chamber, the book describes the design and operation of successive generations of gas-based radiation detectors, as well as their use in experimental physics and other fields. Examples are provided of applications for complex events tracking, particle identification, and neutral radiation imaging. Limitations of the devices are discussed in detail. Including an extensive collection of data and references, this book is ideal for researchers and experimentalists in nuclear and particle physics.

“…The closed circulation gas system ensures blowing of each cham ber block and maintains the stability of gas compo nents in the gas mixture with an adequate accuracy. The mean blow rate of the gas mixture in the system is 100 cm 3 /min [11]. The use of the three component gas mixture makes it possible to attain high stability operation of the chambers and high detection effi ciency for tracking particles.…”

The STRELA experimental setup designed for studying charge exchange processes in deuteronproton collisions at energies above 1 GeV is described. The setup is a one arm magnetic spectrometer the main elements of which are drift chambers. The setup has been tested by irradiation in a deuteron beam with a momentum of 3.5 GeV/c at the Nuclotron accelerator complex (Laboratory of High Energy Physics, Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR)). Algorithms for track searching and reconstruction in drift chambers have been developed and tested using real events. The attained spatial resolution of the chambers is in the range of 90-120 µm, which is sufficient for studying the process we are interested in.

“…As expected, the best value is measured in the central region of the drift cell to be about 210 µm for the BC1/2 and about 250 µm for the BC3/4. The deterioration of the spatial resolution for tracks near the sense wire (0 mm) is caused by the fluctuations of the primary ion-pair pro- duction statistics which leads in this region to remarkable drift distance differences and for tracks near the potential wire (7.5 mm) by electron diffusion [17]. In addition, gas mixtures containing CF 4 have been shown [10] to affect the resolution due to electron attachment, which is especially relevant for long drift distances.…”

The tracking system of the HERMES spectrometer behind the bending magnet consists of two pairs of large planar 6-plane drift chambers. The design and performance of these chambers is described. This description comprises details on the mechanical and electronical design, information about the gas mixture used and its properties, results on alignment, calibration, resolution, and efficiencies, and a discussion of the experience gained through the first three years of operation.
