Abstract

A straw proportional counter is the basic element of theATLAS Transition Radiation Tracker (TRT). Its detailed properties aswell as the main properties of a few TRT operating gas mixtures aredescribed. Particular attention is paid to straw tube performance inhigh radiation conditions and to its operational stability.
