Abstract: An experimental study of accelerated aging of BESIII drift chamber prototype with radioactive source 55Fe 5.9 keV X-ray(1.85X109 Bq)) was done. The dependence of anode current and full energy photo-electron peak of 55Fe 5.9 keV X-ray on the accumulated Q was measured. When total charge Q=0.07C/cm is accumulated (equivalent to 5 operation years of BESIII DC) the anode current is 87% of primary value and aging ratio R=-0.19%/(mC/cm) for small cell was measured.
