CMS GE1/1 Electronics Performance Conclusion

The CMS Muon system

Highly hermetic and redundant system

Three technologies:
Drift tubes and Cathode Strip Chambers (for tracking and
triggering)
Resistive Plate Chambers (for triggering)
Coverage: |η| < 1.6 RPC with DT or CSC; |η| > 1.6 CSC only 4 / 17
CMS GE1/1 Electronics Performance Conclusion

Gas Electron Multiplier technology

Insulating polymer layer (50µm) coated with copper on both sides (5µm)
High density of microscopic holes: 70µm diameter, 140µm pitch
Embedded in a gaseous environment: Ar-CO2 (70/30)

140 µm

70 µm

It has been used at:

COMPASS, TOTEM, LHCb and others

CMS GE1/1 Electronics Performance Conclusion

CMS L1 trigger rate with GE1/1

Level 1 trigger muon rate before and after GE1/1 at a luminosity

of 2 × 1034 cm−2 s−1 for constant efficiency of 94%. The bending
angle between the two stations can be used and the trigger rate
is greatly reduced. 12 / 17
