Abstract
The aim of this thesis is to understand and describe the performance and properties of floating strip Micromegas, intended for high-resolution particle tracking at high-rates and in high-background environments.

Notes
- 1.
The firmware has been written by A. Zibell, additional features like channel masking, gated counting, common-stop- and common-start-TDC capabilities were added by J. Ebke.
- 2.
The quality of the line fit to the hit positions in the reference detector is defined by \(\chi ^2/n_\mathrm {ref.\,detectors}\). Good reference tracks are defined by \(\chi ^2/n_\mathrm {ref.\,detectors}{\le }3\).
