Description
The Micromegas detectors are part of the New Small Wheel (NSW) system of the ATLAS experiment, the largest upgrade project of Phase-1. Together with sTGC detectors they provide trigger and tracking capability in the innermost station of the end-cap part of the Muon spectrometer.
The Micromegas detector of ATLAS cover an active area of about 1280 m^2, has 1024 HV channels and 2.1 M readout channels, representing the largest Micro-Pattern Gaseous Detector system ever built.
The two NSW have been installed in ATLAS in time for the start of Run3, went through a detailed commissioning phase during 2022 and are now contributing to the ATLAS data taking.
