Abstract
MicroMegas (MM) chambers have been chosen as new precision tracking detectors for the upgrade of the forward muon spectrometer of the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). These chambers have been designed to allow operation in the high rate environment expected with the high luminosity, significantly exceeding the design one, during the third run of the LHC and the High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) operation. They must provide a space resolution below 100μm and a tracking efficiency better than 97% per single plane. During the last years several tests have been performed on MM prototypes in order to verify that the requirements on efficiency and resolution can be achieved. The methodology and some of the results of performance studies done in beam tests at CERN are presented in this paper.
