Abstract :
Radial wire drift chambers are built for the Collider Detector of Fermilab to cover forward and backward regions between 2° and 10° cones which will provide good azimuthal position information of tracks, good multi-track, and high rate capability. Results obtained from a prototype chamber show ¿ resolution of ¿rms ¿ 130 ¿m and a charge division accuracy of 0.7 percent along the wire (¿,r) running in the saturated avalanche mode.
