Proposal for the RPC muon detector of LHCb

2000-053 We propose to use RPCs to equip a substantial part of the muon detector stations M2-M5. RPCs made of phenolic plates of low resistivity (9 10^9 ohm-cm) and operated in avalanche mode offer very good performance and several advantages in region IV of M2-M5 and in region III of M4-M5. Using t...

Sumario:2000-053 We propose to use RPCs to equip a substantial part of the muon detector stations M2-M5. RPCs made of phenolic plates of low resistivity (9 10^9 ohm-cm) and operated in avalanche mode offer very good performance and several advantages in region IV of M2-M5 and in region III of M4-M5. Using this technique it is possible to cover 75 % of the total area behind the calorimeters at moderate cost.
