6 Project Current Status
The research and development on the muon
chambers is almost finished: a full size prototype of each
measurement chamber was produced and tested on the beam this
year.
Also the RPCs seem to have reached the requested performance with
a large safety margin
The triggering algorithms are defined and their implementation is
quite advanced: they have all been produced in FPGA and first
ASIC samples were already tested with results matching the
expectations.
The whole muon project proceeds smoothly on schedule.
