Abstract :
We have built an 80 cm long multiwire drift tube with 128 independent anodes, mounted within a light hexagonal carbon-fibre envelope 3 cm in diameter. Several modules can be assembled together to build a vertex detector suitable for collider experiments. Measurements on prototypes and simulations have provided a single-hit accuracy below 100 ¿m and a two-track resolution around 300 ¿m.
