Performance of fast high-resolution Muon drift tube chambers for LHC upgrades

Abstract: Monitored drift tube chambers are used as precision tracking detectors in the muon spectrometer of the ATLAS experiment at the LHC at CERN. These chambers provide a spatial resolution of 35 m and a tracking efficiency of close to 100 % up to background rates of 0.5 kHz/cm 2 , the former being limited at higher rates mainly due to space charge effects and the latter due to the maximum drift time of 700 ns. For LHC upgrades, a faster drift tube chamber has been developed, using drift tubes with a diameter of 15 … Show more
