Abstract
The BaBar Drift Chamber is now under construction. We review its desig n, the progress in the construction of the components, the plan for as sembly and stringing and we present test results obtained with a proto type exposed at SLAC to cosmic rays. We also report on projected dE/dx performance from beam tests done with a chamber with a different cell design. (C) 1998 Published by Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserv ed.
