Abstract
We have developed the baseline design for a straw drift tube tracking system for the Solenoidal Detector Collaboration (SDC) detector. The s ystem was designed to operate in the high-rate environment of a high l uminosity hadron collider. We present an overview of the tracking syst em and the requirements it was expected to fulfill. We describe the co nstruction and properties of the straw drift tubes. We discuss the des ign of the carbon-fiber foam-laminate shell, which supported the wire tension and held the straws in alignment. We also present descriptions of the designs of the front-end and digitization electronics as well as the electronics associated with the level 1 track trigger.
