Popis: This paper reports on the design and testing of a prototype drift chamber for a forthcoming experiment at LAMPF. This chamber will have small cell spacing and operate at high rates. The prototype chamber consists of cells which are 8 × 10 mm. The planes are separated by 8 mm and are at 20° angles. The r.m.s. resolution of the chamber is about 140 μm. Even at instantaneous rates of 3 kHz · wire −1 · mm −1 , the efficiency is better than 98%. Cross-talk between cells is less than 2%.
