Contributions to the ATLAS New Small Wheel Upgrade by the Würzburg University — •Thorben Swirski, Deb Sankar Bhattacharya, and Raimund Ströhmer — Universität Würzburg
One of the prime motivations for the luminosity upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is to get a deeper insight into the Higgs sector. The luminosity upgrade will result in a very high particle rate up to 15 kHz/cm2, for which the forward muon tracking station (Small Wheel or SW) must be upgraded. The detector upgrade is also a necessary step to ensure better muon trigger and more precise tracking than the present scenario. As the primary precision tracker, the New Small Wheel (NSW) will include Micromegas, which is a fast detector with intrinsic spatial resolution of the order of 100 µm. The construction of NSW has already been started. The responsibility for the development of the small sectors (SM2) of the Micromegas quadruplets have been partially distributed in four German Universities of Freiburg, Mainz, Munich and Würzburg, which is supported by the BMBF. In this presentation we are giving a detailed report on the contribution from the Würzburg group to the next ATLAS upgrade.
