Abstract
The Monitored Drift Tube (MDT) chambers for the muon spectrometer of the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) consist of 3–4 layers of pressurized drift tubes on either side of a space frame carrying an optical monitoring system to correct deformations. The full-scale prototype of a large MDT chamber has been constructed with methods suitable for large-scale production. X-ray measurements at CERN showed a positioning accuracy of the sense wires in the chamber of better than the required 20 μm (rms). The performance of the chamber was studied in a muon beam at CERN. Chamber production for ATLAS now has started.
