Performance of resistive plate counters with low percen of isobutane tage
نویسنده
چکیده
The performance of a new kind of double gap resistive plate counter (RPC) has been studied using cosmic rays. The detector was operated with a mixture containing low percentage of isobutane. A comparison with the behaviour of RPC flowed with standard mixture is presented.

Cosmic Ray Studies for the Development of a Test Stand for Resistive Plate Counters
Properties of cosmic ray muons including their flux at sea level and the East-West asymmetry are studied. While these properties have been measured well in previous experiments, it has been beneficial to study cosmic ray as it has led to the optimization of our test stand performance and the development of analysis tools required in later testing of the resistive plate counters.
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 کاملSF6 quenched gas mixtures for streamer mode operation of RPCs at very low voltages
In the present paper we describe a search for gases that allow to reduce the energy of the electrical discharge produced in Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs) operated in streamer mode, by reducing both the operating voltage and the released charge. This can be achieved, with current gas mixtures of argon, tetrafluoroethane (TFE) and isobutane, by reducing the total amount of quenching components ...

متن کاملCosmic ray test results on resistive plate chamber for the BESIII experiments
A cosmic ray test system has been built to fully qualify the resistive plate chambers for the MUON system of the BESIII experiment. The setup has been designed to measure detector’s performance and to verify the stability and reliability of the MUON system. The same electronics, similar readout method and data analysis for BESIII MUON system have been used for this station. With this station, t...
