Drift chamber with a c-shaped frame
We present the construction of a planar drift chamber with wires stretched
between two arms of a c-shaped aluminium frame. The special shape of the frame
allows to extendthe momentum acceptance of the COSY-11 detection system towards
lower momenta without suppressing the high momentum particles. The proposed
design allows for construction of tracking detectors covering small angles with
respect to the beam, which can be installed and removed without dismounting the
beam-pipe. For a three-dimensional track reconstruction a computer code was
developed using a simple algorithm of hit preselection.Comment: submitted to Nucl. Instr. & Meth
