/ Abstract
We present results from two test beam campaigns that investigate the performance of straw tube detectors as potential candidates for an FCC-ee straw tracker. These studies were carried out at CERN using 150 GeV muon beams. Dedicated algorithms were developed to determine both single tube spatial resolution for the primary coordinate in the $r-φ$ plane and spatial resolution for the secondary coordinate along the tube direction within a straw chamber. Detection efficiency was also evaluated as a function of the extrapolated hit position for each tube. Both datasets showed consistent results for spatial resolutions and efficiency. Our findings will help establish benchmark performance metrics and provide valuable insight for future design, optimization, and construction of straw chambers for high-precision tracking applications.
