  abstract  = {In this thesis two main projects are presented, both aiming at the overall goal of particle detector development. In the first part of the thesis detailed shielding studies are discussed, focused on the shielding section of the planned New Small Wheel as part of the ATLAS detector upgrade. Those studies supported the discussions within the upgrade community and decisions made on the final design of the New Small Wheel. The second part of the thesis covers the design, construction and functional demonstration of a test facility for gaseous detectors at the University of W{\"u}rzburg. Additional studies on the trigger system of the facility are presented. Especially the precision and reliability of reference timing signals were investigated.},
