Abstract
Prototypes of drift chambers constructed of Mylar tube blocks were tes ted. The purpose of developing tube blocks technology was to create lo ng chambers (up to 3-4 m). Counting and drift characteristics of the c hambers for different values of the gas pressure and different diamete rs of sense wires are presented. The lifetime of the chambers is deter mined. A photoeffect in the visible spectrum on the surface of the thi n film aluminium cathode, which covers the Mylar tubes was observed.
