Abstract

A method is proposed that allows the construction of drift multiwire proportional chambers with adjustable electric field suitable for the detection of high-energy charged particles in strong magnetic fields. Typical measured accuracies go from 50 to 200 μm, varying with the drift length, at 16 kG. The simple mechanical construction allows the wire distance to be adapted to the expected counting rate, even in the same chamber. Furthermore, the advantages of a current division method to obtain both orthogonal coordinates from the same wire are discussed.
