Abstract :
The basic properties of drift chambers such as space resolution are discussed. The performance of various types of drift chambers is reported, e.g. chambers with high space and time resolution (¿ x = 0.25 mm fwhm, ¿ t = 6.3 ns fwhm), very large area chambers (ca. 16 m2) for a neutrino experiment, cylindrical chambers for colliding beam experiments.
