Development of Novel Designs of Resistive Plate Chambers

A novel design of Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs), using only a single resistive plate, was developed and tested. Based on this design, prototype chambers size ranging from 10 cm × to 32 48 were constructed tested with cosmic rays particle beams. The tests confirmed the viability new approach for calorimetric applications where rates do not exceed 1 kHz/cm 2 , such as CALICE digital calorimeters. also have improved single-particle response, pad multiplicity close unity. In addition development, we probed technique mitigate limitations associated common RPC gases compatible environment. is based electron multiplication in thin layer high secondary yield material coating anode plane. Here report construction various different glass designs, their performance measurements laboratory
