摘要：

We present a detailed description of the drift chambers used as an active target and a tracking device in the NOMAD experiment at CERN. The main characteristics of these chambers are a large area (3 x 3 m(2)), a self-supporting structure made of light composite materials and a low cost. A spatial resolution of 150 pm has been achieved with a single hit efficiency of 97%. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
