Chamber Made of Mylar Drift Tubes for the Fods Installation
The design of a station for recording the tracks of charged particles is presented. The station is assembled from two mutually orthogonal chambers; each chamber contains three layers of tightly packed drift tubes made of Mylar. The layer consists of 24 tubes 810 mm long and 30 mm in diameter. Track stations are used in experiments on the setup for detection of particles with large transverse momenta of accelerator of NRC ”Kurchatov Institute” — IHEP. The procedure for checking drift tube chambers is described. The results of testing chambers using cosmic muons and proton beams are presented.
