Cosmic ray tests of double-gap resistive plate chambers for the CMS experiment
The CMS Barrel resistive plate chambers quality tests are performed at three different sites (Bari, Pavia and Sofia), where equivalent software and hardware tools are used. Data from the first 210 detectors are available for a comprehensive analysis. The paper describes the general experimental set-up, the test procedure and the cosmic muon test results. The muon trajectory reconstruction algor...
متن کاملDetailed models for timing and efficiency in resistive plate chambers
We discuss detailed models for detector physics processes in Resistive Plate Chambers, in particular including the effect of attachment on the avalanche statistics. In addition, we present analytic formulas for average charges and intrinsic RPC time resolution. Using a Monte Carlo simulation including all the steps from primary ionization to the front-end electronics we discuss the dependence o...
متن کاملThe dynamic behaviour of Resistive Plate Chambers
In this paper the first attempt to extend the usual ‘‘static’’ simulation of Resistive Plate Chambers to the case when the rate of incident particles is not negligible is described. This is done by coupling a simulation of the process of electrode discharging and charging up, together with a simulation of the avalanche processes taking place in the gas. The model accounts for many of the observ...
متن کاملResistive plate chambers for time-of-flight measurements
The applications of Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs) have recently been extended by the development of counters with time resolution below 100 ps s for minimum ionising particles. Applications to HEP experiments have already taken place and many further applications are under study. In this work, we address the operating principles of such counters along with some present challenges, with emphas...
متن کاملResistive Plate Chambers in ATLAS
The ATLAS first level muon trigger is based, in the rapidity region ( v ( 5 1.05, on fast and finely segmented gaseous detectors, Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs) . A prototype of a small scale RPC trigger tower has been assembled and tested. We present results on efficiency, time resolution, cluster size and collected charge. The detectors, filled with a non-flammable and environment-safe gas m...
