摘要
A set of two multi-wire proportional chambers with a central hole has been designed and built in a KVI-IUCF collaboration. These chambers, used for detecting charged particles with atomic masses up to A = 4 and energies up to 200 MeV, are highly efficient with efficiencies of 97-98% per plane at a count rate of 1 kHz per centimeter wire, dropping to 95-96% per plane at a count rate of 2 kHz/c wire.
