Information is given on the nomenclature used in the Muon Tracker. The
Muon Tracker consists of three Cathode Strip Chamber (CSC) stations in each
for the two Muon Magnets. Each tracker station consists of three CSC chambers
(called gaps). Each gap has two cathode planes and one anode plane which
are read out. The cathode planes provide high resolution "
" measurements
and the anode planes provide lower resolution "r" measurements.
[Note: The figure numbers are anchors for the same drawing in PDF format, which is more useful for printing.]
Figure 1: Nomenclature used for the number of the South and North Muon Arms, tracking stations within each arm and CSC planes within each tracking station.
Figure 2: Nomenclature used for the naming of the connectors for cathode planes in the CSC's. Note the orentation of the plane is "flipped upside down" for half of the planes.
