Abstract
A new cylindrical low mass central drift chamber has been constructed for the K+ --> pi(+)nu<(nu)over bar> experiment at BNL (E787), The cha mber consists of twelve layers of axial wire cells and six layers of t hin cathode-strip foils, four of which are supported by differential g as pressure. The momentum resolution (RMS) for muons and pions in the range 150-250 MeV/c is found to be about 0.9%. (C) 1998 Elsevier Scien ce B.V. All rights reserved.
