Precision tracking with small-strip Thin Gap Chamber (sTGC): from Test Beam to ATLAS NSW Upgrade

The forthcoming luminosity upgrade of LHC to super - LHC (sLHC) will increase the e xpected background rate in the forward region of the ATLAS Muon Spectrometer by approximately a factor of five. Some of the present Muon Spectrometer components will fail to cope with these high rates and will have t...

description The forthcoming luminosity upgrade of LHC to super - LHC (sLHC) will increase the e xpected background rate in the forward region of the ATLAS Muon Spectrometer by approximately a factor of five. Some of the present Muon Spectrometer components will fail to cope with these high rates and will have to be replaced. A development of the Th in Gap Chambers (TGC) has been tested during the last four years. The results of these tests , presented here, showed that the small strip Thin Gap Chambers (sTGC) provide a fast trigger and high precision muon tracking under sLHC conditions. In 2012, sTGC technology has been accepted as a part of the New Small Wheel (NSW).
