Analysis of the X-Ray Tomograph Data of the BOS MDT Prototype Chamber

The complete X-ray tomograph data of the BOS MDT prototype chamber for the ATLAS muon spectrometer have been analyzed. The geometrical parameters of the chamber determined from the average of all X-ray scans are in good agreement with the design values. The spread of the measured wire positions with respect to the fitted wire grid is 17.0 mu (19 mu) RMS in the z coordinate and 18.2 mu (19.3 mu) RMS in y on the readout (high voltage) side. The errors include the average measuring uncertainty of the X-ray tomograph estimated to be 4 mu RMS in z and 6 mu RMS in y from the reproducibility of repeated measurements in the same chamber position.
