Test beam results on resistive plate chamber prototype at gamma irradiation facility in CERN

We report recent results on performances of 2 mm double-gap RPC operated with the CERN SPS X5 120 GeV muon beams under high rate /sup 137/Cs irradiation. We obtained the efficiency and time resolution and other related physical parameters. This was done for a three component gas mixture: (C/sub 2/H/...

Descripción
Sumario:We report recent results on performances of 2 mm double-gap RPC operated with the CERN SPS X5 120 GeV muon beams under high rate /sup 137/Cs irradiation. We obtained the efficiency and time resolution and other related physical parameters. This was done for a three component gas mixture: (C/sub 2/H/sub 2/F/sub 4/:iso-C/sub 4/H/sub 10 /:SF/sub 6/=95.5:3.0:1.5). The best results were obtained under these conditions and the RPC prototype fulfilled all requirements as muon trigger for LHC. (12 refs).
