Abstract
We present the results on MDT (monitored drift tubes) autocalibration studies obtained from the analisys of the data collected in Summer 199 5 on the H8B Muon Test Beam. In particular we studied the possibility of autocalibration of the MDT using four or three layers of tubes, and we compared the calibration obtained using a precise external tracker with the output of the autocalibration procedure. Results show the fe asibility of autocalibration with four and three tubes and the good ac curacy of the autocalibration procedure.
