Abstract
Thirty nine, one meter square proportional chambers with delay line readout have been constructed for the external muon identifier of the Fermilab 15 foot bubble chamber. 1 They provide X, Y, U(45°) and T (avalanche time) information using a single wire plane, etched strip cathodes and nine amplifiers. They have a time resolution of ±27ns, single particle spatial resolution of ±2 to ±3mm and double particle resolution of ~2 1/2 to 4cm. The energy accessable to each wire is limited so none of the wires in the first 25 chambers has broken since their installation in 1973-4.Keywords
