The second generation BaBar RPCs: Final evaluation of performances
نویسنده
چکیده
Over 200 second generation RPCs were installed in the Forward Babar region in the summer of 2002. They have fulfilled their task in an honorable fashion although they always needed a lot of attention and special care. Some region of them has integrated a charge in excess of half a C=cm2. Their behaviour over time will be reviewed in this paper together with the corrective action applied to the system to preserve it. & 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Study of HF Production in BaBar Resistive Plate Chambers
The BaBar detector has operated over 200 2nd generation Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs) in the forward endcap since 2002. Many chambers have increased noise rates and high voltage currents. These aging symptoms are correlated with the integrated RPC current as expected, but also depend on the rate and direction of the gas flow, indicating that pollutants produced in the gas can accelerate aging...
متن کاملBaBar forward endcap RPCs
The BaBar detector has operated over 2000m of resistive plates chambers (RPCs) as muon and neutral hadron detectors since 1999. Most of the RPCs of the original production underwent a significant efficiency loss and many are now completely inefficient. During the summer 2002 new RPCs from a recent production were therefore installed to replace the old chambers in the forward endcap. The experie...
متن کاملDual photonic-bandgap optical films towards the generation of photonic crystal-derived 2-dimensional chemical codes.
Chemical-oriented 2-dimensional (2D) optical codes were constructed for the first time by integrating bi-layer or bistriate-structure responsive photonic crystals (RPCs), which not only presents high information capacity in encoding processes, but offers a facile route to the detection of high performance sensors along with accurate analysis and anti-jamming performances.

The topic of this paper is the definition of a geometric model for stereo pair orientation of SpotLight Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imagery collected by the new high amplitude resolution radar sensors COSMO-SkyMed (Italian) and TerraSAR-X (German). The suite for radargrammetric approach has been implemented in SISAR (Software per Immagini Satellitari ad Alta Risoluzione), a scientific softwa...
متن کاملRPC operation at high temperature
The resistive electrodes of RPCs utilised in several current experiments (ATLAS, CMS, ALICE, BABAR and ARGO) are made of phenolic/melaminic polymers, with room temperature resistivities ranging from 10 O cm; for high rate operation in avalanche mode, to 5 10 O cm; for streamer mode operation at low rate. The resistivity has however a strong temperature dependence, decreasing exponentially with ...
