Electronics for drift chambers operating in high intensity particle beams

Abstract Electronics for drift chambers which consist of modules of different types and permits to registrate up to 16 events from 16 wires, is described. A special auxiliary controller is used, which gives the possibility to organize preliminary data processing in all the crates simultaneously. Useful information from the auxiliary controller, including the digitized drift time, the number of the triggered wire and the corresponding receiving module, is written into the memory module. After the end of a proton beam spill onto the target, the information is sent from the memory modules to the computer.
