Study of the CMS RPC detector performance in high radiation background conditions

The Resistive Plate Chamber (RPC) system at the CMS Detector has been operating successfully since the beginning of data taking. The high instantaneous luminosity of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) provides an extremely high flux of ionizing particles. The long period of operation (Run-I and Run-II) under large radiation background conditions, gives the opportunity to study the operational capability of the RPCs and also to predict a data-driven extrapolation of measured parameters like currents and integrated charged. Those results will be compared to the relevant results obtained from the dedicated R&D study, where a set of test chambers have been irradiated at the GIF++ laboratory setup.
