MSGC Test with Fast Neutrons

Results are presented from the exposure of a CMS performance prototype MSGC to a fast neutrons beam having an average energy of 20 MeV and an intensity of 7*10^6 neutrons/mm2/s. A fluence equivalent to 3 years of LHC operation has been accumulated without damages to the detector. The stability of th...

Sumario:Results are presented from the exposure of a CMS performance prototype MSGC to a fast neutrons beam having an average energy of 20 MeV and an intensity of 7*10^6 neutrons/mm2/s. A fluence equivalent to 3 years of LHC operation has been accumulated without damages to the detector. The stability of the MSGC operation in a heavily ionising particles flux is reported and the estimation of their production by neutrons is discussed.
