The tracker system of the H8 muon test beam

The H8 test beam setup has been equipped with a tracking system, able to reconstruct the track position in the MDT chambers under test with an accuracy of <= 50 microns over a large area. The system consists of two detectors, based on drift tubes. Each detector is made by two multilayers, one for...

Sumario:The H8 test beam setup has been equipped with a tracking system, able to reconstruct the track position in the MDT chambers under test with an accuracy of <= 50 microns over a large area. The system consists of two detectors, based on drift tubes. Each detector is made by two multilayers, one for the horizontal and one for the vertical coordinate. The tubes, filled with an Argon-Isobutane gas mixture, are operated in streamer mode. This note describes the setup, calibration and performances of this system. With adequate statistics, the system is capable of checking over a wide area the MDT performances, especially the calibration and the accuracy in the mechanical construction.
