Abstract
The development of the barrel drift chambers for the CMS muon detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider is supported by a variety of simula tion calculations, based on the GARFIELD drift chamber simulation prog ram and the GEANT detector simulation package. This study surveys the results influencing the actual chamber design. The dependence of the d rift cell performance on shape and position of the cell electrodes as well as on the mechanical tolerances is shown. The results obtained fo r space-time relation and spatial resolution are in good agreement to test beam measurements on prototypes. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. A ll rights reserved.
