Abstract

Thanks to significant technological improvements, developed during a intensive R&D activity carried out in the last years, large-area Micromegas (MM) will be employed, for the first time, in the High Energy Physics field. Starting from 2019, they will cover a large surface of about 150m2 in the forward regions of the Muon Spectrometer. In this paper, the performances of MM chambers and, in particular, the spatial resolution and the efficiency, obtained using data from different test beam campaigns, will be described. Moreover, it will be shown the present status of the Micromegas chambers construction from the Italian INFN groups, focusing, especially, on the construction procedures and the methodologies developed to obtain the challenging required mechanical precision.
