Abstract
Several investigations were conducted to demonstrate the capabilities of a straw drift tube outer tracking system for the SDC detector as de scribed in the previous article. These include electrical properties a nd aging properties of the tubes as well as measurements of electron d rift times in a 2 T magnetic field. Measurements characterizing the ra diation hardness of the processes used to fabricate the front-end elec tronics are also included. We present the performance characteristics of prototype straw modules read out through this front-end electronics as well as some data on the performance of the track trigger system.
