| Two Cathode Readout Drift Chamber (CRDC) are used to measure the transversal positions and angles in the focal plane. The first detector (CRDC1) is located at the nominal optical focal plane, and it is separated 1 m from the second downstream detector (CRDC2). Each detector has an active depth of 1.5 cm, an active area of 26 cm (non-dispersive direction) × 56 cm (dispersive direction), and it is filled with a gas mixture consisting of 80% CF4 and 20% C4H10 at a typical pressure of 50 torr. The operating high power depends on the charge of the measured nuclei.(e.g. Xxx for xxx, and xxx for xxx). A schematic view of a CRDC can be seen in Fig xxx, and their technical specifications are listed in Table xxx. Each detector consists of two windows mounted on frames, two printed circuit boards (PCB) and an anode frame. Each PCB is made of un-masked G-10, and includes a field shaping foil to ensure a uniform field in the active region of the detector. Two G-10 spacers are laminated to the board on each side. The shaping foils are made of 1.9-mm pitch evaporated aluminum strips perpendicularly oriented to the electric field. The anode frame includes a glued cathode grounding plane, an anode wire running across the field, and a Frisch grid. Cathode pads are located in front of and behind the anode wire. The pads have a pitch of 2.54 mm. The anode frame is sandwiched between the two printed circuit boards with two spacers in between, as shown in Fig. xxx. | Two Cathode Readout Drift Chamber (CRDC) are used to measure the transversal positions and angles in the focal plane.
