Abstract
In the DeeMe experiment, approximately $70\ \mathrm{GHz/mm^{2}}$ prompt-charged particles will hit the multi-wire proportional chambers (MWPCs) before signal electrons come. To avoid the space charge effect, we developed fast HV-switching MWPCs in order to control the gas gain dynamically. All four of the MWPCs were manufactured. Last year, the circuit of readout amplifiers is slightly modified to further improve the efficiency of the detector, and we also started to investigate other possible choices of the gas mixture. In this article, the development of the detectors and results of performance tests will be presented.

Report
The proceedings describes development of a novel adaption of a MWPC detector by the DeeMe collaboration. This modification is critical for the operation of the DeeMe experiment. These proccedings are not as detailed as earlier reports on the subject, but include recent developments that have not previously been reported.
