Abstract

Single layer honeycomb strip chambers have been constructed for the tracking calorimeter TRACAL. This detector is a component of the RD5 experimental test setup at CERN, where aspects of muon detection in LHC conditions are studied. The construction of the chambers is described and the excellent spatial resolution obtained from strip signals (σ < 60 μm) is reported.
