Abstract
The ATLAS detector is designed to exploit the full physics discovery potential offered by the Large Hadron Collider, to be built at CERN. With center-of-mass energies of 14TeV, a proton–proton collision rate of 40MHz, resulting luminosities of ≥1034/cm2/s and a requested operating time of 10–15 years design, construction and operation of this general purpose detector and its subsystems pose extraordinary challenges. High-precision measurements of final-state muons, through a very large volume, are amongst the most crucial requirements for the determination of particle signatures, both for known processes and for new discoveries alike. The ATLAS Muon System is fulfilling this requirement through the use of a system of Precision Chambers, designed to meet these challenges.
