Abstract
In the framework of the study for a large magnetic detector suitable for the physics at a neutrino factory, the data collected with the MONOLITH prototype at the T7-PS facility at CERN has been analyzed. The hadron shower angular resolution for pions followed a 10.4/E(GeV)+10.1/E law for orthogonally incident particles. For a baseline of 732km, this performance would allow the rejection of wrong sign muon background at the level of 10−6, and a capability to measure sinθ13 down to 10−3. A preliminary analysis of about 106 downward going muons collected at LNGS is also presented. The readout system upgrade allowed the monitoring of each glass RPC with a granularity of 1cm2.
