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.},
