摘要：
A new concept for two-dimensional position readout of wire chambers is described. The basic idea is to use a cathode segmented into small pixels that are read out in specific groups (pads). The electronics is mounted on the outer face of the chamber with a chip-on-board technique, pushing the material thickness to a minimum. The system described here, containing 210 000 readout channels, will be used to read out the pad chambers in the PHENIX experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC).
