Analysis and Quality Tests of the ATLAS Muon Endcap Trigger Chambers

The subject of this thesis is the design and operation of the data acquisition system, which serves to analyze and to test the performance of the Thin Gap Chambers (TGC) detector. The TGCs are detectors designed to detect the high transverse momentum muons in the endcaps of the ATLAS detector. The ATLAS Collaboration is building a general-purpose pp detector, which is design to exploit the full discovery potential of the High Energy proton-proton interaction in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) currently built at CERN. The LHC will offer a large range of physics opportunities, among which the origin of mass at the electroweak scale. The short time response of the TGCs makes it an ideal trigger system for selecting interesting events in the highly packed environment of the LHC accelerator. Being part of the trigger system of the ATLAS experiment it is required that the TGCs will reach uniform high detection efficiency in a fast time response. The testbench build in Tel-Aviv University, uses muon from Cosmic Rays to test that performance.
