Scientific paper

A transition radiation and tracking detector is being developed for the CBM heavy-ion experiment at the future facility FAIR (GSI, Darmstadt). An approach of such a detector based on pad-readout multi-wire proportional chambers is being studied, in particular with respect to the gain stability of these devices under particle rates of up to 105 Hz/cm2. Results of a first test beam campaign and of first measurements with an X-ray tube show that, for thin prototype detectors, such rates produce a moderate decrease (typically 5%) in pulse-height due to space-charge build-up, and also a slight degradation (5%) of the spatial resolution. Future activities aimed at improving and better quantifying the performance of this detector will be discussed.
