In#uence of temperature and humidity on bakelite resistivity

چکیده
The use of phenolic or melaminic bakelite as RPC electrodes is widespread. The electrode resistivity is an important parameter for the RPC performance. As recent studies pointed out, the bakelite resistivity changes with temperature and is in#uenced by humidity. In order to gain a quantitative understanding on the in#uence of temperature and humidity on RPC electrodes, we assembled an apparatus to measure resistivity in well-controlled conditions. A detailed description of the experimental set-up as well as the "rst resistivity measurements for various laminates in di!erent environmental conditions are presented. ( 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.

Final results from an extensive ageing test of bakelite Resistive Plate Chambers
We present the final results of an extensive aging test, performed at the CERN Gamma Irradiation Facility on two bakelite Resistive Plate Chambers (RPC) detectors. With a method based on a model describing the behaviour of an RPC under high particle flux conditions, we have periodically measured the electrode resistivity r of the two RPC prototypes over 3 years. We observed a large spontaneous ...
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...

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 t...

Magnetic and Electrical Resistivity Study of Electroless Amorphous Ternary System (Ni-Co-P) show a qualitative dependence of crystalline phases formed during transformation on the annealing temperature and composition. Electrical Resistivity values increases with increase in cobalt content and samples with higher resistivity show lower temperature coefficients. The Initial increase in magnetiza...
متن کاملAvian Response to Microclimate in Canopy Gaps in a Bottomland Hardwood Forest
Microclimate may infl uence use of early successional habitat by birds. We assessed the relationships between avian habitat use and microclimate (temperature, light intensity, and relative humidity) in experimentally created canopy gaps in a bottomland hardwood forest on the Savannah River Site, SC. Gaps were 2to 3-year-old group-selection timber harvest openings of three sizes (0.13, 0.26, 0.5...
