Description
During the ATLAS phase 1 upgrade, which will take place beginning in
2019, the muon system will be upgraded to install a New Small Wheel
(NSW) in the forward region in order to improve tracking and trigger
performance at very high luminosities. Canadian groups are
responsible for construction and testing of small thin gap chambers
(sTGC) that will be used in the NSW. The McGill group is responsible
for testing these chambers using cosmic ray muons. This talk will
describe the selection and analysis of cosmic ray events, based on
simulation and cosmic ray data collected using a prototype 40x60cm
sTGC quadruplet module, and focusing in particular on events with
multiple reconstructed tracks in the detector.
