The RPC system for the CMS experiment at the LHC
نویسندگان
چکیده
The CMS detector at the LHC has a redundant muon system. Two independent muon systems are used in the L1 trigger. One of them is based on wire chambers, the other on RPC detectors. Properly combining the answers of the two systems results in a highly efficient L1 trigger with high flexibility from the point of view of rate control. Simulation results show, however, that the RPC system suffers from false triggers caused by coincidence of spurious hits. System improvements, which could avoid oiling the chambers, are possible. RPCs have also proved to be very useful for muon track reconstruction. r 2003 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved. PACS: 07.05.Fb; 07.05.Hd; 07.05.Kf

Implementation of the data acquisition system for the resistive plate chamber pattern comparator muon trigger in the CMS experiment
This paper presents the implementation of the data acquisition system of the resistive plate chamber (RPC) subdetector in compact muon solenoid (CMS) experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in CERN. The described readout system connects with the RPC detector, the RPC link system, the RPC trigger system and the CMS data acquisition system and creates one of multiple metrological systems in...
متن کاملA new Front-End board for RPC detector of CMS
A new Front-End board for the RPC detector of the CMS experiment at LHC is described. It houses two Front-End chips and the Front-End controller, which includes the Synchronization Unit. Its aim is to amplify the delta-like detector signals, ranging from 20 fC to 20 pC, generate fast output pulses and synchronize them with the LHC clock.

Theoretical and practical realisation of the JTAG testing system for the RPC Muon Trigger of the CMS experiment at the LHC accelerator at CERN laboratory (Geneva) is presented. The paper covers issues related to tests of connections of the printed circuit boards (PCB) of the RPC Trigger. Functionality tests of devices and modules were performed. Special tests were designed for large PLD FPGA. T...
متن کاملResistive plate chambers in running and future experiments
This document surveys the RPC-based detection systems of running and future collider experiments focusing on the implications of the choice of some basic detector features: number of gaps, electrode material and operating mode. The muon identification systems of the B-factory experiments BaBar and Belle is described and the RPC performance since the first operation of the detectors is briefly r...
