Abstract
The 1 m long and 1 m outer diameter KEDR drift chamber consists of 42 layers. The chamber is based on a jet type cell. In addition to drift time measurements, pulse height measurements will provide particle sep aration by dE/dx. The measurements of the spatial resolution and the e ffects of the end plates on resolution and aging tests were performed using prototypes filled with DME gas. The resolution averaged over the drift distance has a value of 40 mu m. The relative gain drop is equa l to 45 %/(C/cm).
