Development of a tester hardware tool for new read-out electronic cards of the ATLAS muon detector monitored drift tubes for the Phase-II upgrade — •Mathias Modlmayr, Gia Khoriauli, and Raimund Ströhmer — Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg

The ATLAS detector is a experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN and collects data from particle collisions with energies in the multi-TeV range. The monitored drift tubes (MDT) are a part of the ATLAS muon spectrometer and are used to identify and measure muon tracks. The MDT are read-out with on-chamber mezzanine cards which are equipped with signal amplifier-shaper-discriminator and time to digital converter chips. For the High Luminosity LHC, this front-end electronics has to be replaced with the new mezzanine cards being developed. We develop a hardware tool to test the functionality of the new mezzanine cards. Hardware and software specifications as well as the status of the development of the tool is presented.
