Abstract
In the design of drift chambers, the end plate for the chambers have generally been of simple geometries and of high stiffnesses. When end plates have to be as light and as thin as possible to conserve weight and space, the result will be flexible end plates. This article investigates the sag behavior of wires in the drift chamber as the relatively compliant end plates more relative to each other. An analytical expression relating gravitational sag to end plate motion is derived. Experimental results are also compared to the theoretical predictions on gravitation sag as a function of end plate motion. Some concepts to solving problems that arise due to such motion are also discussed.
