Abstract
For the detection of free neutron decay electrons with a maximum energy of 783 keV the authors have build a drift chamber filled with a counter gas of low neutron capture cross section. The properties of a He-CO2 mixture were investigated under various conditions. Some tests were performed on a gaseous preamplifier stage.Keywords
