Abstract
We describe a new high-rate detector suitable for X-ray imaging, ring imaging of Cherenkov light, and charged-particle tracking. The device is a parallel-plate avalanche chamber coupled to a gated drift-chamber readout. This design incorporates the advantages of parallel-plate avalanche chambers and drift-chamber readout methods, and avoids some of the disadvantages of both. The two-dimensional readout of the detection plane is obtained by time slicing in one dimension and cathode pads in the other.
