In this paper we describe the operation and performance of the HERA-B Outer Tracker, a 112 674 channel system of planar drift tube layers. The performance of the HERA-B Outer Tracker system fullfilled all requirements for stable and efficient operation in a hadronic environment, thus confirming the adequacy of the honeycomb drift tube technology and of the front-end readout system. The detector was stably operated with a gas gain of 3 · 10 4 in an Ar/CF 4 /CO 2 (65:30:5) gas mixture, yielding a good efficiency for triggering and track reconstruction, larger than 95 % for tracks with momenta above 5 GeV/c. The hit resolution of the drift cells was 300 to 320 µm and the relative momentum resolution can be described as:At the end of the HERA-B running no aging effects in the Outer Tracker cells were observed.

“…Each board could read out a maximum of 32 channels and was plugged into a crate with the backplane using the two free rows of the connector P2 (the central row being dedicated to VME signals) as a private bus for the HERA B Fast Control System (FCS [11]). This bus, which was driven by an FCS daughter card, distributed the machine global timing signals, such as the Bunch Crossing (BX) Clock (96 ns period, 10.4 MHz frequency) and all the signals relevant to the First Level Trigger (FLT [12]) to the RO board.…”
