| Abstract | A crucial issue in the design of modern multi-wire proportional chambers (MWPCs) is to avoide mechanical instabilities of thin and long wires that are held at high potentials [1]. Still, these structures are mechanically very sensitive and event-related (random) oscillations have been reported for drift tubes [2,3], where the gas ionisation originates the driving force. |
