Development of Fast High-Resolution Muon Drift-Tube Detectors for High Counting Rates
B. Bittner, J. Dubbert, S. Horvat +10
Pressurized drift-tube chambers are efficient detectors for high-precision tracking over large areas. The Monitored Drift-Tube (MDT) chambers of the muon spectrometer of the ATLAS…
Performance of Drift-Tube Detectors at High Counting Rates for High-Luminosity LHC Upgrades
Bernhard Bittner, Joerg Dubbert, Oliver Kortner +11
The performance of pressurized drift-tube detectors at very high background rates has been studied at the Gamma Irradiation Facility (GIF) at CERN and in an intense 20 MeV proton b…
Development of Muon Drift-Tube Detectors for High-Luminosity Upgrades of the Large Hadron Collider
B. Bittner, J. Dubbert, O. Kortner +7
The muon detectors of the experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have to cope with unprecedentedly high neutron and gamma ray background rates. In the forward regions of th…
TPC-like readout for thermal neutron detection using a GEM-detector
Bernhard Flierl, Otmar Biebel, Ralf Hertenberger +1
Spatial resolution of less than 200 um is challenging for thermal neutron detection. A novel readout scheme based on the time-projection-chamber (TPC) concept is used in a gaseous…
High-Rate Capable Floating Strip Micromegas
Jonathan Bortfeldt, Michael Bender, Otmar Biebel +9
We report on the optimization of discharge insensitive floating strip Micromegas (MICRO-MEsh GASeous) detectors, fit for use in high-energy muon spectrometers. The suitability of t…
High Rate Proton Irradiation of 15mm Muon Drifttubes
Andre Zibell, Otmar Biebel, Ralf Hertenberger +7
Future LHC luminosity upgrades will significantly increase the amount of background hits from photons, neutrons and protons in the detectors of the ATLAS muon spectrometer. At the…
Development of High-Resolution Muon Tracking Systems Based on Micropattern Detectors
Jonathan Bortfeldt, Otmar Biebel, David Heereman +1
A muon tracking system consisting of four 9cm x 10cm sized bulk Micromegas detectors with 128um amplification-gap and two 10cm x 10cm triple GEM detectors is foreseen for high-prec…
ATLAS monitored drift tube chambers for super-LHC
Albert Engl, Otmar Biebel, Ralf Hertenberger +3
After the high-luminosity upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, the ATLAS muon spectrometer is expected to work at 10 times increased background rates of gammas and n…
ATLAS Monitored Drift Tube Chambers in E = 11 MeV Neutron Background
T. Mueller, A. Mlynek, O. Biebel +6
The influence of fast neutrons on the occupancy and the single tube resolution of ATLAS muon drift detectors was investigated by exposing a chamber built out of 3 layers of 3 short…
Temperature Studies for ATLAS MDT BOS Chambers
A. Engl, O. Biebel, R. Hertenberger +5
Data sets with high statistics taken at the cosmic ray facility, equipped with 3 ATLAS BOS MDT chambers, in Garching (Munich) have been used to study temperature and pressure effec…
A Cosmic Ray Measurement Facility for ATLAS Muon Chambers
O. Biebel, M. Binder, M. Boutemeur +15
Monitored Drift Tube (MDT) chambers will constitute the large majority of precision detectors in the Muon Spectrometer of the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN.…
