Construction and Performance of a prototype detector for the ATLAS New Small Wheel — •Tai-Hua Lin, Matthias Schott, Chrysostomos Valderanis, and Andreas Düdder for the ATLAS collaboration — Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz, Germany
One of the upgrades of ATLAS detector for its phase II of operation is the replacement of the inner part of end cap muon spectrometer with resistive micromegas detectors. In this talk we discuss the very first working prototype, a quadruplets detector with an area of 0.5 m2 per plane in a trapezoid shape. The detailed construction of the prototype which includes the drift and readout layers gluing, gas flowing system mounting and etc. will be presented. The prototype was tested at the Mainz Microtron and with cosmic rays and results are presented. Finally we report on its installation of the prototype to the ATLAS cavern and on the plans for future measurements with it.
