Rate effects in high-resolution drift chambers
Abstract
The impact of high counting rates on the spatial resolution of cylindrical drift tubes is investigated in detail and the results are compared with simulations. Electronics effects and space-charge effects are quantitatively analysed. A spatial resolution of σ<80 μm can be achieved even at rates as high as 1500 Hz/cm wire length (300 kHz per wire).
