This page collects information about the SLAC involvement in the read-out of the Cathode Strip Chambers, which is one of ATLAS's four muon systems and designed to provide precision measurements in the forward region. This page is not updated since mid 2014 with the latest info now hosted on the NRC Twiki at CERN.
