Descripción
Sumario:A tracking chamber for the ALICE muon spectrometer should meeta combination of rather severe requirements: good spatial resolutionof the order delta<I>x</I> 100&micro;m in a high multiplicity (N ~ 500) environment, low thickness (X/X<SUB>0</SUB> ~ 2-3 \) and large size (&oslash; ~ 5 m) of the detector. A segmented strip chamber has been proposed as the main option for the detector.We present the chamber design and the results of the beam tests at PS (CERN) of the first prototype. Future plans for the full-scale prototype construction are also discussed.<P>
