Further advances in aging studies for RPCs
Aging phenomena in RPCs have been studied since 1996 in the framework of the ATLAS experiment with small-size detectors, irradiated with a Co source. The results evidenced a decrease of the detector rate capability at fixed electric field, due to an increase of the total resistance of electrodes. This was confirmed by an extensive aging test performed on the ATLAS RPC ‘‘module-0’’ at GIF-X5, th...
متن کاملRPC ageing studies
A 15-month ageing test of an ATLAS module ‘‘0’’ RPC has been performed at the GIF X5 CERN irradiation facility. The aged RPC performances largely fulfilled the ATLAS requirements. However, the test showed a significant reduction of the RPC maximum rate capability, from almost 2 kHz cm 2 to a few hundred Hz cm ; due to the total charge integrated during the test. The reasons for this ageing phen...
متن کاملPerformance of low-resistivity single and dual-gap RPCs for LHCb
RPCs are strong candidates for the outer regions of the LHCb muon detector. We have tested single-gap and dual-gap detectors built with low-resistivity phenolic plates (ρ = 9 · 109 Ωcm) and operated in avalanche mode. Measurements have been performed over a wide range of beam intensities and on the GIF at CERN. The results are presented and discussed, with special emphasis on the detection effi...
متن کاملRPC understanding and future perspectives
The understanding of the long-term behavior of the RPCs developed as dedicated muon trigger detectors at LHC and presently in construction, is analyzed. The main aging mechanisms are reviewed. The gas contamination by the hydrofluoric acid is analyzed as a possible aging cause and a method for measuring the fluorine concentration in the exhaust gas is described. Finally, the use of RPCs for the...
متن کاملThe bakelite for the RPCs of the experiment CMS
Results from aging tests on the bakelite used for the CMS RPCs are presented. Samples of melaminic bakelite were exposed to a heavy gamma and neutron radiation. Data on the bulk resistivity were collected while accumulating gamma and neutron doses and particles #uence up to values well beyond those expected in 10 years of RPCs operation in the barrel region of CMS. The test with gamma radiation...
