Sumario:A full size prototype of the second barrel RPC station ( RB2) for the CMS detector has been tested under high irradiation flux at the CERN Gamma Irradiation Facility ( GIF) during the 1999 beam test. The main requirements of RPCs as trigger detector has been studied: cluster size, time resolution, efficiency and rate capability. The timing features of a new front-end electronics were also investigated. Only the results obtained with the detector working in single gap mode are reported here.
