Description
As we move into run 3 of the new High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC), many parts of the ATLAS detector have to go through a upgrades to keep up with the increased event rates. One of these upgrades is the New Small Wheel (NSW) which is part of ATLAS’ Muon Spectrometer. As a necessity, detailed simulations of the NSW must be run and tuned to test data to accurately reproduce singles expected in run 3. A study into the single point resolution of the small-strip thin gap chamber (sTGC), used as the main trigger of the NSW, is done to better tune current NSW simulations.
