Abstract

For use at the future Super-LHC a new type of muon detector has been developed. It is based on the proven MDT drift tube design, but with tubes of half the diameter, leading to higher rate capabilities by an order of magnitude. We present test results on efficiency and position resolution at high background rates and describe the practical implementation in a real-size prototype.
