Tracking and Level-1 triggering in the forward region of the ATLAS Muon Spectrometer at sLHC
In the endcap region of the ATLAS Muon Spectrometer (η > 1) precision tracking and Level-1 triggering are performed by different types of chambers. Monitored Drift Tube chambers (MDT) and Cathode Strip Chambers (CSC) are used for precision tracking, while Thin Gap Chambers (TGC) form the Level-1 muon trigger, selecting muons with high transverse momentum (pT ). When by 2018 the LHC peak luminos...
متن کاملA Gas Monitor Chamber Calibration Program for the ATLAS Muon Spectrometer Precision Chambers
The ATLAS Muon Spectrometer is designed to measure the momentum of muons with a resolution of dp/p = 3% and 10 % at beam energies of 100 GeV and 1 TeV respectively. To do this, the spectrometer employs 355,000 Monitored Drift Tubes (MDTs) in 1200 Chambers. Calibration (RT) functions convert drift time measurements into tube-centered impact parameters for track segment reconstruction. RT functio...
متن کاملCalibration of the ATLAS Muon Spectrometer Precision Chambers for Initial LHC Beam Collisions
ATLAS is a general purpose experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN which began operation in September, 2009. ATLAS has a large muon spectrometer which is designed to measure muon momentum with a resolution ranging from 3% at 100 GeV/c to 10% at 1 TeV for a pseudorapidity range of 0-2.7. In this paper, we describe the derivation and validation of calibration constants for the Monit...
متن کاملThe Muon ATLAS MicroMegas Activity
The luminosity upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN (sLHC) foresees a luminosity increase by a factor 5 compared to the LHC. To cope with the corresponding increase in background rates, the Muon System of the ATLAS experiment at CERN will likely need major changes in the very forward/backward region (the high rapidity region). The Muon ATLAS MicroMegas Activity (MAMMA) is focused on the...
متن کاملThe Muon Spectrometer of the ALICE experiment
Heavy ion collisions at relativistic energies are a unique tool for creating very hot and dense matter in a laboratory. In particular, lattice chromodynamics (lQCD) predicts a cross-over toward a new state of matter called Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP) at T∼ 170 MeV for μB ∼ 0. (where T is the temperature and μB the baryonic chemical potential) [ 1]. Heavy ion collisions allow us to experimentally s...
