Description
Extensive tests with cosmic rays have been performed with RPC trigger
chambers installed in sector 13 of the ATLAS muon spectrometer. We
illustrate the effort and report the results of this pre-commissioning phase,
which rappresent a test bench to address the final commissioning of ATLAS
RPC by cosmics rays. The tests done are mainly concentrated to establish a
set of software and analysis tools necessary to debug and to understand the
detector performance, mainly in term of noise, cluster size, and efficiency.
Nevertheless, the data, taken with and without the toroidal magnetic field,
have a quality high enough to allow a first detector characterization.
