Sumario: | The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector operates at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. It was proposed to install the fourth endcap (+,- RE4) consisting of Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs) for the CMS muon Endcap system, in order to improve its Level-1 trigger efficiency and thereby completing the full implementation of the TDR, after which LHC will run with its full designed luminosity. This station is currently being installed in the first Long Shutdown (LS-1) of LHC during 2013-2014. In this presentation, we will discuss about the entire procedure of standardization of leak and spacer tests for the gas-gaps, the new design for the Cu cooling system, assembly, testing and characterization of RPCs which is being executed in a synchronized way at the three assembly sites at CERN, BARC-Mumbai and University of Ghent, Belgium. In this talk the RPC chamber production and commissioning will be described in detail. Few preliminary results will be shown. |
