Study on the operational conditions of a double-gap resistive plate chamber for the CMS
نویسنده
چکیده
We present the results from cosmic ray tests on the forward Resistive Plate Chamber (RPC) for the CMS. Double-gap prototype RPC were built and tested in the Korea Detector Laboratory (KODEL). We found that addition of SF 6 and water vapor to the tetra#uorethane-based gas mixture was required for the long-term stable operation of RPC. E$ciency, time resolution as well as cross-talk behavior of the detector were investigated. In addition, we present the temperature and humidity dependence of bulk resistivity of Korean bakelite in detail. ( 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Characteristics of a double gap resistive plate chamber for the endcap region of CMS/LHC: data vs. simulation in avalanche mode
We present the detailed analysis of the time and charge signals of a prototype double gap resistive plate chamber for the endcap region of the compact muon solenoid detector at CERN LHC. We demonstrate that the operating highvoltage plateau can be extended at least up to 400V with the present design. The simple avalanche multiplication model can reproduce the experimental charge spectra reasona...

متن کاملBeam Test Results on Resistive Plate Chambers for the CMS Experiment
Resistive Plate Chambers were tested in a muon and a pion beam to study the performances at different running conditions. Results on a first chamber built without the linseed oil treatment of the bakelite surfaces are presented together with an evaluation of the local effects due the spacers. These results are extrapolated to the conditions expected at LHC.

A brief description of the cosmic muon telescope used for the tests is given. The preliminary results for the chamber performance are presented.
متن کاملGamma ray transmission imaging detectors using a double gap resistive plate chamber
In this paper we report a feasibility study of the gamma ray transmission imaging using a double gap resistive plate chamber. The detector consists of two layers of 2 mm resistive plate chamber (RPC) gaps with two-dimensional read-out strips of 10 mm pitch. Gamma ray transmission images for objects inside a cabinet, using a 10 mCi 137 Cs isotope, were obtained with a pixel resolution of 5 Â 5 m...
