Abstract :
We describe the assembly procedure and the operation in a high-intensity beam of a small but representative system of Micro Strip Gas Chambers (MSGC) fully equipped with readout electronics. The chambers, with an active area of 100 × 100 mm2, are made on 300 μm diamond-like coated D-263 glass with 200 μm pitch gold or chromium strips. The readout electronics (PreMux 128) allows the recording of charge on individual anode strips. The monitoring task includes a complete control and characterization of each device before installation in the beam, such as measurement of surface resistivity, finding shorts, pulse height analysis, gas gain calibration, rate capability and testing of the final electronics. Preliminary results of the beam test are described.
