The ATLAS Transition Radiation Tracker (TRT) proportional drift tube: design and performance
Author
Summary, in English
A straw proportional counter is the basic element of the ATLAS Transition Radiation Tracker (TRT). Its detailed properties as well as the main properties of a few TRT operating gas mixtures are described. Particular attention is paid to straw tube performance in high radiation conditions and to its operational stability.
