      abstract     = {The study that we present is part of the preparation work
                      for the setup of the FOOT (FragmentatiOn Of Target)
                      experiment whose main goal is the measurement of the double
                      differential cross sections of fragments produced in nuclear
                      interactions of particles with energies relevant for
                      particle therapy. The present work is focused on the
                      characterization of the gas-filled drift chamber detector
                      composed of 36 sensitive cells, distributed over two
                      perpendicular views. Each view consists of six consecutive
                      and staggered layers with three cells per layer. We
                      investigated the detector efficiency and we performed an
                      external calibration of the space–time relations at the
                      level of single cells. This information was then used to
                      evaluate the drift chamber resolution. An external tracking
                      system realized with microstrip silicon detectors was
                      adopted to have a track measurement independent on the drift
                      chamber. The characterization was performed with a proton
                      beam at the energies of 228 and 80 MeV. The overall hit
                      detection efficiency of the drift chamber has been found to
                      be 0.929±0.008 , independent on the proton beam energy. The
                      spatial resolution in the central part of the cell is about
                      150±10 μ m and 300±10 μ m and the corresponding detector
                      angular resolution has been measured to be 1.62±0.16 mrad
                      and 2.1±0.4 mrad for the higher and lower beam energies,
                      respectively. In addition, the best value on the intrinsic
                      drift chamber resolution has been evaluated to be in the
                      range 60−100 μ m. In the framework of the FOOT
                      experiment, the drift chamber will be adopted in the
                      pre-target region, and will be exploited to measure the
                      projectile direction and position, as well as for the
                      identification of pre-target fragmentation events.},
