The facility for ATLAS resistive plate chambers assembly

The dedicated facility built for the assembling of the nearly 1000 RPC units of the ATLAS mu-spectrometer is described in detail. The necessity of keeping the gravitational sagitta below 10 mm for the 5- m-long RPC units has driven the careful design of the extruded Al lateral profiles and suspensio...

description The dedicated facility built for the assembling of the nearly 1000 RPC units of the ATLAS mu-spectrometer is described in detail. The necessity of keeping the gravitational sagitta below 10 mm for the 5- m-long RPC units has driven the careful design of the extruded Al lateral profiles and suspension end-plates. A special assembly table allows to maintain the mechanical tolerances of each unit well below plus or minus 1 mm in all dimensions. Both gas gaps inside each unit are kept at a constant pressure of 10**3 Pa over the whole surface, in order to ensure the uniformity of the gap.
