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

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 were designed and constructed in Munich, then installed in ATLAS over the past few months. 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 results of quality assurance tests both during and after construction, as well as the commissioning and installation of the chambers at the ATLAS detector.
