Drift Detectors incorporate drift time of freed ions to achieve greater position resolution Multiwire Proportional Detector uses many anode wires closely spaced; sandwiched between a pair of cathode plates greater resolution, larger scale Georges Charpak (the inventor) Multiwire Proportional Detectors and The Drift Detector
