6. 6 MDT R ESOLUTION V S D RIFT R ADIUS 1. MDT Resolution can be obtained by straight track fitting (segment) from “residual widths”  (r) and extrapolation errors: 1. Can also be obtained by the geometric mean of biased and unbiased hit “residual widths” ( NIM A538 (2005) 372-383 )  Residual distribution  establish fitting function  Define “residual width” Mauro Iodice – Muon Week – Performance Meeting, May 15 th, 2013

Many cross-checks performed (can be reported in the CONF-NOTE) All results are consitent Comparison with H8 Test-Beam data – CAVEAT: Test Beam data taken at fixed angles – better knowledge of extrapolation error Test-Beam results obtained with different residual fitting procedure ATLAS Collision data include slewing corrections (not included in TB) Mauro Iodice – Muon Week – Performance Meeting, May 15 th, 2013
