Abstract: (Elsevier)
We have built and tested a cylindrical multiwire proportional chamber with dual coordinate readout from the anode wires. The azimuthal coordinate is obtained in the conventional way, the axial one by charge division with a resolution of Δl / l = 0.4% fwhm. The prototype chamber is 75 cm in diameter and 100 cm high and consists of two thin foil cathodes, two Mylar gas windows and a central anode wire plane with a total mass of 21 mg/cm 2 .
