An automatic system for the wiring of Drift Chambers for modern high intensity and high precision particle physics experiments

Tracking systems for modern particle physics experiments, both for the search of extremely rare processes, which require high momentum resolutions in ranges dominated by multiple scattering, and for the next generation of high luminosity lepton colliders, which require large active volumes and high granularity, make use of light drift chambers able to withstand high rates and, therefore, made of large numbers of closely spaced wires. For such chambers, the use of the classical feed-through technique, as wire anchoring system, cannot be implemented and it is necessary to develop an automatic system (wiring robot) to locate the wires with high accuracy and under a well monitored and uniform mechanical tension with fast and reliable operations.
