A 24 x 24 cm{sup 2} asymmetric multiwire proportional chamber, with 7.5 x 7.5 mm{sup 2} photosensitive CsI pads, has been tested with Cherenkov radiation of 3 GeV/c electrons in the T24 test beam at DESY. The performance of the chamber with specially designed low-noise, charge-sensitive preamplifiers is described. The parameters of the CsI-MWPC are compared to those of a TMAE photon detector in order to evaluate their potential as Ring Imaging Cherenkov (RICH) counters for the HERA-B experiment at DESY.
