Cosmic ray test results on resistive plate chamber for the BESIII experiments
نویسندگان
چکیده
A cosmic ray test system has been built to fully qualify the resistive plate chambers for the MUON system of the BESIII experiment. The setup has been designed to measure detector’s performance and to verify the stability and reliability of the MUON system. The same electronics, similar readout method and data analysis for BESIII MUON system have been used for this station. With this station, the 72-barrel detectors were tested, only one detector was rejected and then accepted again after reparation, and the average detector efficiency of the double-layer counters has been measured to be 98%. r 2007 Elsevier B.V.

Cosmic Ray Studies for the Development of a Test Stand for Resistive Plate Counters
Properties of cosmic ray muons including their flux at sea level and the East-West asymmetry are studied. While these properties have been measured well in previous experiments, it has been beneficial to study cosmic ray as it has led to the optimization of our test stand performance and the development of analysis tools required in later testing of the resistive plate counters.
متن کاملA new surface treatment for the prototype RPCs of the BESIII spectrometer
The prototype resistive plate chambers (RPCs) for the BESIII spectrometer were constructed by using resistive electrodes made from a special type of phenolic paper laminates developed by us. The surface quality of these laminates is superior to other bakelite plates that have been used to construct RPCs elsewhere. A method for adjusting the resistivety of these laminates was also developed. Ext...
متن کاملStudy on the operational conditions of a double-gap resistive plate chamber for the CMS
We present the results from cosmic ray tests on the forward Resistive Plate Chamber (RPC) for the CMS. Double-gap prototype RPC were built and tested in the Korea Detector Laboratory (KODEL). We found that addition of SF 6 and water vapor to the tetra#uorethane-based gas mixture was required for the long-term stable operation of RPC. E$ciency, time resolution as well as cross-talk behavior of t...
متن کاملCms Barrel Resistive Plate Chambers- Tests and Results
CMS experiment will use Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs) as dedicated muon trigger detectors. The first 24 RPCs for the barrel muon system of the CMS experiment have been assembled and tested. A brief description of the cosmic muon telescope used for the tests is given. The preliminary results for the chamber performance are presented.
متن کاملCosmic ray tests of double-gap resistive plate chambers for the CMS experiment
The CMS Barrel resistive plate chambers quality tests are performed at three different sites (Bari, Pavia and Sofia), where equivalent software and hardware tools are used. Data from the first 210 detectors are available for a comprehensive analysis. The paper describes the general experimental set-up, the test procedure and the cosmic muon test results. The muon trajectory reconstruction algor...
