Resistive plate chambers in running and future experiments
نویسنده
چکیده
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 reported. The trigger systems of the future LHC experiments ALICE, ATLAS and CMS are discussed and some results obtained in the research and development programs carried out by the Collaborations are reported.

Beam 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.
متن کاملResistive Plate Chambers in avalanche mode: a comparison between model predictions and experimental results1
In this paper a model simulating the main aspects of avalanche growth and signal development in Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs) is presented. The model has been used to compute the performances, in particular, charge distribution and efficiency of singledoubleand multi-gap RPCs, and to compare them with the available experimental results. This model could be used to optimize the characteristics...
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 کاملApplications and New Developments in Resistive Plate Chambers
Resistive Plate Chambers are rugged and affordable gas detectors that have found extensive use in high-energy physics and astroparticle experiments. The main features of these counters are the very large pulse height, reduced cost per unit area and good (about 1ns) time resolution. The field has enjoyed very active progress in recent years, including the introduction of a new (avalanche) mode o...
