Cosmic ray tests of double-gap resistive plate chambers for the CMS experiment
نویسندگان
چکیده
The CMS Barrel resistive plate chambers quality tests are performed at three different sites (Bari, Pavia and Sofia), where equivalent software and hardware tools are used. Data from the first 210 detectors are available for a comprehensive analysis. The paper describes the general experimental set-up, the test procedure and the cosmic muon test results. The muon trajectory reconstruction algorithm, used for precise studies, is presented. The criteria to accept or reject a detector are also given. The CMS final-design chambers show an average efficiency greater than 95%. r 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Cms Barrel Resistive Plate Chambers- Tests and Results
CMS experiment will use Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs) as dedicated muon trigger detectors. The first 24 RPCs for the barrel muon system of the CMS experiment have been assembled and tested. A brief description of the cosmic muon telescope used for the tests is given. The preliminary results for the chamber performance are presented.
متن کاملStudy on the operational conditions of a double-gap resistive plate chamber for the CMS
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...
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...
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 کاملQuantitative aging study with intense irradiation tests for the CMS forward RPCs
A systematic study with a series of irradiation tests was performed for the forward resistive plate chambers (RPCs) of the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiment. Small double-gap RPCs were manufactured and tested by the gamma rays emitted from a 200mCi Cs source at Korea University and by the fast neutrons provided by the MC50 proton cyclotron at the Korea In...
