Abstract
We have carried out laboratory tests to measure the ageing of a wire tube d ue to pollutants outgassed by various materials. The tested materials are t hose used in the barrel muon drift tubes of the CMS experiment at LHC. An X -ray gun irradiated the test tube to accelerate the ageing process. No agei ng effect has been measured for a period equivalent to 10 years of operatio n at LHC. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
