The Straw Tube Tracker for the MUSE Experiment
POSTER
Abstract
The MUon Proton Scattering Experiment (MUSE) at the Paul Scherrer Institute aims to address the proton radius puzzle through simultaneous measurements of the muon-proton and electron-proton elastic cross sections. One of the main elements of the MUSE setup involves the Straw Tube Tracker (STT) that will provide high resolution and high efficiency tracking of the scattered particles from the target. Details regarding the design and performance of the STT detector system will be presented in this work.
