Drift chambers for a precision measurement of the Michel parameters in muon decay

Planar drift chambers will be used in a solenoidal magnetic field to measure the Michel parameters in muon decay. The chamber manufacture procedure uses flat glass tables and precise ceramic glass spacers to provide precise anode–cathode spacing. Results of bench and beam tests of the prototype cham...

Summary:Planar drift chambers will be used in a solenoidal magnetic field to measure the Michel parameters in muon decay. The chamber manufacture procedure uses flat glass tables and precise ceramic glass spacers to provide precise anode–cathode spacing. Results of bench and beam tests of the prototype chambers are discussed.
