In preparation for the High-Luminosity upgrade to the LHC, here at Carleton University we are building small-strip Thin Gap Chamber (sTGC) detectors as part of the New Small Wheel (NSW) to be installed within ATLAS. Currently around 90% of the Level-1 Muon triggers from ATLAS are false, which is obviously a huge issue, and these sTGC detectors will act as an additional trigger to drastically reduce the amount of false triggers while also improving the response time and position tracking of the detector. My work this summer has been to create a python script to be used as a tool to analyse measurements made during the assembly process in order to infer how the construction variations will affect the physics involved once the detector is installed within ATLAS.
