Study of noise and efficiency of MDT chambers on 2003 and 2004 H8 test beam data

A fast monitoring method to determine electronic noise level and single tube efficiency on the Monitored Drift Tube chambers is introduced and applied to 2003 and 2004 data collected on the H8 beam line at CERN. A more refined measurement of the single tube and of the track segment efficiencies that makes use of the Resistive Plate Chambers as reference detector is also described and performed.
