Construction and Test of sMDT Chambers for the ATLAS Muon Spectrometer — •Eric Takasugi, Korbinian Schmidt-Sommerfeld, Oliver Kortner, and Hubert Kroha — Max-Planck-Institut für Physik, München

In the ATLAS muon spectrometer, Monitored Drift Tube chambers (MDTs) are used for precise tracking measurements. In order to increase the geometric acceptance and rate capability, new chambers have been designed and are under construction to be installed in ATLAS during the winter shutdown of 2016/17 of the LHC. The new chambers have a drift tube diameter of 15 mm (compared to 30 mm of the other MDTs) and are therefore called sMDT chambers. This presentation reports on the progress of chamber construction and on the results of quality assurance tests.
