Description
The IDEA detector concept for a future e+e- collider adopts an ultra-low mass Drift Chamber as the central tracking system. It is a He based, 4 m long and 4 m diameter, fully stereo drift chamber with a total material budget of ~ 0.016 X0 in the barrel part and ~ 0.05 X0 in the end-caps. It will be instrumented with readout electronics implementing the Cluster Counting/Timing techniques, allowing for a larger than 3 sigma pi/K separation over most of the momentum range of interest. Details about the novel construction procedures, inspired by the ones developed for the construction of the MEG II drift chamber will be described. The expected tracking system performance, together with the Improved particle identification capabilities obtained by using the cluster counting technique, will be reported.
