Almost one century after its origin, and thirty years after the invention of
the Multi-Wire Proportional Chamber, the field of gaseous detectors is far
from being fully exploited. With the increasingly stringent constraints of
modern experiments, particularly concerning high rate capability and
radiation resistance, spatial resolution and homogeneity of large sensitive
area...

The ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN is
currently being assembled to be ready to take first data in fall 2007. Its
muon spectrometer is designed to achieve a momentum resolution of better
than 10% at pμ = 1 TeV. The spectrometer consists of one barrel and two
endcap superconducting air-core toroid magnets and is instrumented with
three layers of Monitored...

During summer 2006 the solenoid magnet of CMS was tested for the first
time at its nominal field of 4T with a slice of each sub-detector operational.
The first results and lessons learned with the cosmic runs taken in this
configuration will be presented here with emphasis in the muon system. The
magnet test has provided a unique opportunity to demonstrate the
combined operation of...

The Time Projection Chamber (TPC) is the main tracking detector of the
heavy ion Experiment ALICE at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The
field gage manufactured of carbon fiber composites has a total volume of 95
m 3, the readout chambers instrument the two end-plates of the TPC
cylinder with an overall active area of 32.5 m 2. The detector covers the
pseudorapidity range |η| <...

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...

The LHCb experiment is a single arm spectrometer, designed to study CP
violation in B-decays at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). It is crucial to
accurately and efficiently detect the charged decay particles, in the high-
density particle environment of the LHC. For this, the Outer Tracker (OT) is
being constructed, consisting of ∼55,000 straw tubes, covering in total an
area of 360 m...
