First results of the 2001 MDT chambers beam test.

Three MDT chamber prototypes have been exposed to the H8 muon test beam during september 2001. This note describes the H8 setup and the performance of two such chambers, a BIL and a BML. We have studied the chamber calibration, the single tube resolution and efficiency, the electronic noise and thei...

Sumario:Three MDT chamber prototypes have been exposed to the H8 muon test beam during september 2001. This note describes the H8 setup and the performance of two such chambers, a BIL and a BML. We have studied the chamber calibration, the single tube resolution and efficiency, the electronic noise and their behaviour as a function of the HV and discriminator threshold. Although the analysis is still in progress, the first results show a good agreement with the expected performance.
