  • Abstract
    Test results of two straw prototype detectors, constructed to calibrate a computer model of a straw detector system with two-dimensional readout, are reported in this paper. The computer model is then used to study the properties of a straw detector system such as the charge induced on an external conductive strip, the impedance of the signal readout, and the cross talk between adjacent straws. These results are being used to aid the design of the tracking system for the MECO experiment.
