Thin Gap Chambers (TGCs) will be used as a muon trigger device in the end-cap regions of the ATLAS detector. The detector will be placed in an experimental cavern approximately 100m below the ground surface. A large amount of neutron background is expected in the cavern. Recoiled nuclei, mostly protons, emerging from the neutron interaction provide a much larger energy deposit in the gas volume than...
