Description
New small Monitored Drift Tube (sMDT) chambers were developed by the Max Planck Institute (MPI) for the ATLAS muon spectrometer upgrade. The smaller tube size allows sMDT chambers to cope with the increased luminosity of the High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) and make space for additional Resistive Plate Chamber (RPC) layers. The University of Michigan will construct 48 sMDT chambers containing over 23,000 drift tubes by 2024. This talk will report on the methodology used to reconstruct cosmic-ray muon tracks in the sMDT chambers assembled at the University of Michigan, including a Geant4 simulation of the sMDT chambers. Chamber commissioning test results using cosmic-ray muons are presented, including noise rate, efficiency, and resolution studies.
