| Popis: | We describe results of an investigation to develop multiwire proportional chamber systems utilizing electromagnetic delay lines for high resolution cosmic ray experiments. The delay line used is a plexiglas core type, with a delay constant of 7 nsec/mm. The interpolation properties of this readout scheme resulted in a measured spatial resolution of 75 microns (HWHM), using iron-55 X-rays and a wire spacing of 1 mm. Tracking accuracy over a 6 mm region near the center of the chamber was better than ±7 microns when fitted to a linear spatial dependence combined with a sinusoid of wire-spacing periodicity. |
