The Atlas Detector: Muon Chambers
Lecture by Jill Pamperin (University of Wisconsin, Plattville)
CERN, Geneva, 09 Aug 2001

Summary of Talk:

Jill Pamperin worked on the simulation of test beam muons hitting the muon end cap detectors of the ATLAS detector. This involved editing a file containing the geometry of the ATLAS detector until it contained one of each of the six types of end caps. Muons were fired at the detectors using Geant4. A second project involved rewriting the test beam and end cap geometries using XML syntax which is more easily read by humans than the original detector geometry file using the ATLAS Generic Detector (AGDD) language. C++ code was written to read these XML geometry files and put the information in a format that the original AGDD could read.

Additional Notes:

This lecture has no accompanying slides. Instead, we present the lecture by itself with higher resolution (320x240), which means higher bandwidth is required (optimized for 80Kbs).
