Scientific paper

The Monitored Drift Tubes (MDT) are used for precision tracking in the muon spectrometer of the ATLAS experiment. They have to cope with a counting rate reaching 500 Hz/cm2 mostly due to photon and neutron background in the experimental hall which corresponds to an accumulated charge of 0.6 C/cm per wire in 10 years of LHC operation at the nominal luminosity of 1034 cm-2s-1. The neutron flux is expected to be about 5 kHz/cm2, corresponding to a counting rate of 2.5 Hz/cm2. MDTs ageing studies have been performed at the ENEA-Casaccia Research Center (Italy) irradiating a test chamber with neutrons up to an integrated flux of 2.4·1012 neutrons/cm2 and with photons up to an integrated charge of 4.8 C/cm.
