Abstract
A charged-particle tracking chamber consisting of about 1400 individua l drift tubes (''straws'') has been designed and built for the experim ent PS202 (JETSET), installed in the antiproton storage ring LEAR at C ERN. The design considerations, the development of several new techniq ues, and the construction of the detector are described. A complex sys tem of front-end electronics, specially developed for the chamber, pro vides drift-time as well as charge-division measurements. Calibration procedures for obtaining three-dimensional space information for charg ed-particle tracks are described. The performance of the chamber achie ved in the actual experiment is discussed.
