| Abstract | The US ATLAS End Cap Muon system is covering the rapidity region between 1 and 2.7. The main tasks of the US ATLAS team are: 1. Design and construction of the monitored drift tubes (MDT): rapidity between 1 and 2; 2. Design and construction of the cathode strip chambers: rapidity between 2 and 2.7; 3. Design and construction of the alignment system for the entire Muon End Cap system; 4. Design and construction of the associated electronics for US and other ATLAS groups. We present the end cap muon system layout. Various type and shapes of chambers are used. The talk discuss mainly the MDT chambers. |
