title = "Design and performance of a high resolution streamer chamber",
abstract = "We have constructed and operated a high pressure streamer chamber which exhibits substantially improved spatial resolution over a conventional one atmosphere chamber. Operating with 24 atm of neon-helium at a peak electric field of 330 kV/cm we have achieved a spatial resolution of 40 μm.",

note = "Funding Information: We were motivated to develop a detector that would achieve the required resolution to directly observe particles with lifetimes of order 10 -13 s and that would be triggerable. Particles with new quantum numbers produced in 300 GeV/c proton interactions are expected to be produced approximately at rest in the center of mass - hence they will have a Lorentz 3' of about 12. Particles with a lifetime of 10 -13 s and a 3' of 12 will have a 0.36 mm decay length in the laboratory. The average laboratory decay angle is about 100 mrad for particles with a mass of 2 GeV/c 2 . This means that the trajectories + This work was supported in part by the U.S. Department of Energy. * Present address: University of Maryland, College Park, ** MD, U.S.A.
