Test Beam Analysis of the First CMS MB2 Drift Tube Muon Chamber

In october 2001 the first MB2 DT chamber, produced at Madrid, was tested at the CERN Gamma Irradiation Facility (GIF) using a muon beam. A RPC structure was attached to the top of the chamber, and operated coupled together for the first time. The performance of the DT chamber was studied for several...

Sumario:In october 2001 the first MB2 DT chamber, produced at Madrid, was tested at the CERN Gamma Irradiation Facility (GIF) using a muon beam. A RPC structure was attached to the top of the chamber, and operated coupled together for the first time. The performance of the DT chamber was studied for several operating conditions, and for gamma rates similar to the ones expected at the LHC. In addition, part of the associated readout electronics was tested using a beam with the same LHC bunch structure. The purpose was to validate the present design for the Read Out Board (ROB) and high performance TDC (HPTDC) chips. This note presents our analysis of the data. The results in all cases are considered satisfactory.
