“…The ATLAS straw-based transition radiation tracker (TRT) at CERN's LHC consists in three modules, a cylindrical barrel surrounding the central region and two forward wheels. The barrel TRT has three concentric rings, each with 32 identical straw tubes 144 cm in length and 4 mm in diameter; the two end-cap detectors are assembled in 20 wheels with short (37 cm) radially-oriented straws (Akesson et al, 2004a;Martin, 2007). Embedded in foil or fibre radiators and filled with a xenon-rich gas mixture, the TRT serves the purpose of both high-resolution tracker Figure 11.14 Two-layer structure of the straws for COMPASS (Bychkov et al, 2006).…”

Widely used in high-energy and particle physics, gaseous radiation detectors are undergoing continuous development. The first part of this book provides a solid background for understanding the basic processes leading to the detection and tracking of charged particles, photons, and neutrons. Continuing then with the development of the multi-wire proportional chamber, the book describes the design and operation of successive generations of gas-based radiation detectors, as well as their use in experimental physics and other fields. Examples are provided of applications for complex events tracking, particle identification, and neutral radiation imaging. Limitations of the devices are discussed in detail. Including an extensive collection of data and references, this book is ideal for researchers and experimentalists in nuclear and particle physics.

On behalf of the ATLAS Inner Detector CollaborationATLAS (A Toroidal LHC Apparatus) is one of the experiments installed on the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC), where first collisions are expected in September this year at a reduced center of mass energy of 10 TeV, for the collider commissioning. In this paper, a short description of the Transition Radiation Tracker, of the SemiConductor Tracker and of the Pixel detector, which all together form the ATLAS inner detector, is given, and we discuss their first commissioning results. We conclude with the plans until the LHC start-up.
