| Sumario: | The transition radiation tracker is a 370000 straw drift tube chamber under construction for the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. It provides flexible level-2 triggering, robust pattern recognition and good electron/pion separation. We discuss the final design choices that will ensure reliable operation for the experiment lifetime in the harsh LHC environment. The results of beam tests of prototypes of the detector and the expected performance in ATLAS are also reviewed. (4 refs). |
