  • 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).
