Test of a MICROMEGAS detector for the muon tracking chambers of ALICE

Description

An alternative solution for the muon tracking chambers of ALICE, based on the detector MICROMEGAS, is investigated at SUBATECH. Three prototypes have been constructed and tested in the 3 GeV/c pion beam of the CERN PS. The characteristics of these detectors, and the set-up used for the tracking test are described. Results concerning efficiencies and spatial resolutions as a function of gas mixtures, high voltages and the angular incidences of the particles are presented and discussed. (author)
