    Clearly, an overall hermetic detector with adequate resolution is essential, and the CDC is a crucial subsystem. Straw tubes are a well-established technology [4–30] that has long been recognized as an alternative to multi-wire tracking chambers. Due to their cylindrical geometry, straw tubes can have very low mass, which reduces multiple scattering of charged particles.
