Beam test results of inverted double Gap RPCs with high counting rate capability for the CMS experiment

Two medium size prototypes of Inverted Double Gap RPC were tested in H2 SPS beam at CERN in the intensity range up to 7 kHz/cm2. The detectors having identical construction, but made out of bakelite with the volume resistivity different by three orders of magnitude allowed the study of the impact of...

Sumario:Two medium size prototypes of Inverted Double Gap RPC were tested in H2 SPS beam at CERN in the intensity range up to 7 kHz/cm2. The detectors having identical construction, but made out of bakelite with the volume resistivity different by three orders of magnitude allowed the study of the impact of the electrode material conductivity on the RPC operation characteristics. The RPC made out of bakelite with 5*10^8 Ohm cm volume resistivity exhibits stable operation in the whole range of beam intensities with full efficiency and good timing properties.
