Description

A tracker consisting of 16 MSGCs has been installed in the high intensity muon beam of the SMC experiment at CERN. Each MSGC has an active surface of 10x10cm2, covered by 496 anode strips. As a front-end amplifier the APC 64 is used.Results are presented about the efficiency, both at a high rate and at a low rate, and the position resolution. Using the data of the MSGC tracker the definition of the beam tracks in SMC significantly improved. (orig.)
