Spatial Resolution Attainable with Cathode Strip Chambers at the Trigger Level
نویسندگان
چکیده
A simple network of comparators applied to the strip signals of a cathode strip chamber allows quick hit localization to within a halfstrip width, or +/a quarter-strip. A six-plane chamber with 6.4 mm wide strips was tested in a high-energy muon beam. The chamber was placed behind a 30 cm thick iron block. We show that patterns of hits localized to within a halfstrip allowed us to identify 300 GeV/c muon tracks with 99% probability and 0.7 mm spatial resolution in the presence of bremsstrahlung radiation. This technique of finding muon tracks will be used in the cathode strip chambers of the CMS Endcap Muon System.

Tracking and Level-1 triggering in the forward region of the ATLAS Muon Spectrometer at sLHC
In the endcap region of the ATLAS Muon Spectrometer (η > 1) precision tracking and Level-1 triggering are performed by different types of chambers. Monitored Drift Tube chambers (MDT) and Cathode Strip Chambers (CSC) are used for precision tracking, while Thin Gap Chambers (TGC) form the Level-1 muon trigger, selecting muons with high transverse momentum (pT ). When by 2018 the LHC peak luminos...
متن کاملDouble Track Resolution of Cathode Strip Chambers
Details are presented of a method to resolve close tracks in cathode strip chambers based on the t to the induced charge distribution. The analysis of muon beam test data demonstrated a double track resolution of about 2 mm for a readout pitch of 5 mm. The degradation of the position resolution in presence of a close track is limited to 10% of the readout pitch.

The Cathode Strip Chamber (CSC) sub-detector [1] at the CMS experiment at CERN consists of trapezoidal 6layer chambers located in the Endcap regions. The CSC system is needed for precise muon identification and generation of trigger primitives for the Level-1 trigger system. The CSC triggering system comprises the onchamber anode and cathode electronics, the off-chamber boards housed in 9U crat...

We report on the development and performance of a novel track-finding processor for the Level-1 trigger of the CMS endcap muon system. The processor links track segments identified in the cathode-strip chambers of the endcap muon system into complete threedimensional tracks. It then measures the momentum of the best track candidates from the sagitta measured between three muon chambers in the e...
متن کاملGas mixture optimization for CMS muon Cathode Strip Chambers
The results of measurements of electron drift velocities and Lorentz angles in the magnetic field B = 0.5 T and 1.0 T as well as amplification properties in various fast gas mixtures are presented in this paper. The experimental data are compared with calculations. The main goal of investigations is to optimize properties of the gas mixture for the Cathode Strip Chambers.
