Abstract
WE agree wholeheartedly with P. Rice-Evans1 and the leading article in Nature2 that there is a need for higher resolution particle detectors at the new synchrotrons. Following a suggestion by one of us3, we are working towards the development of a thin multi-conductor chamber filled with a noble liquid. Our initial efforts with liquid argon have been described in several NAL Summer Study reports4 and the successful operation of a liquid xenon proportional counter is the subject of a recent article5.
