Upgrade of the Readout Electronics of the ATLAS MDT Detector for SLHC

Simulation predicts a high level of ionizing radiation in the ATLAS experimental hall during LHC operation. This radiation will act as a source of background signals to the four subsystems of the ATLAS muon detector. We present the performance of the Monitored Drift Tube detector (MDT) under these b...

description Simulation predicts a high level of ionizing radiation in the ATLAS experimental hall during LHC operation. This radiation will act as a source of background signals to the four subsystems of the ATLAS muon detector. We present the performance of the Monitored Drift Tube detector (MDT) under these background conditions and discuss the consequences for the much higher background rates at SLHC with respect to tracking ef - ciency, resolution and readout bandwidth. For rates beyond the expected LHC levels, we discuss options to improve the performance of detector and electronics.
