Speaker
Description
The instantaneous luminosity of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN will be increased by about a factor of five with respect to the design value by undergoing an extensive upgrade program overthe coming decade. The largest phase-1 upgrade project for the ATLAS Muon System was
the replacement of the first station in the forward regions with the New Small Wheels (NSWs) which took place during the long-LHC shutdown in 2019-2021.
The two Small Wheels are called A and C and cover a positive and negative pseudorapidity acceptance in the range |η| =1.3 to 2.7. Both Small Wheels have been successfully installed in ATLAS in 2021.
Along with resistive strips Micromegas, the NSWs is equipped with eight layers of small-strip thin gap chambers (sTGC). The new system is designed to assure high tracking efficiency, reduction of fake trigger rates and precision measurement of muon tracks. In this presentation we will discuss performances of the sTGC detectors from data taken with the first LHC beam in summer 2022 and test beam data of 2021.
