Abstract
We have developed a straw tube chamber with pickup-pad readout. The mechani sm for signal pickup, the size of the pickup signal, and the distribution o f signals among neighboring pads are discussed. We have tested a prototype chamber in a beam test at Brookhaven National Laboratory and have measured chamber efficiencies in excess of 99%. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All r ights reserved.
