Abstract
An 864 channel prototype of an integrated straw tracker and transition radiation detector for tracking and electron identification has been tested with and without magnetic field at the CERN SPS. The rejection against hadrons and converted photons has been measured and the depend ence of the rejection power on detection parameters has been investiga ted. Tracking and hadron rejection were also studied in a high multipl icity environment. The results are compared with Monte Carlo simulatio ns. Wherever possible, conclusions are drawn concerning the performanc e of a full-scale detector at the future Large Hadron Collider.
