Abstract	An alternative solution for the muon tracking chambers of ALICE, based on the detector MICROMEGAS [1], is investigated at SUBATECH. Three prototypes have been constructed and tested in the 3 GeV/c pion beam of the CERN PS. This paper describes the characteristics of these detectors, and the set-up used for the tracking test. Results concerning efficiencies and spatial resolutions as a function of gas mixtures, high voltages and the angular incidences of the particles are presented and discussed.
