Threshold dependence of strip clusters for the forward region resistive plate chamber of the CMS/LHC experiment
نویسندگان
چکیده
Strip clusters of muons and background hits induced by gamma rays and spurious pulses are analyzed for the Forward Region Resistive Plate Chamber of the CMS/LHC. In order to perform the analysis, a real size RE2/1 prototype RPC manufactured with the final baseline design of the Forward Region RPCs was tested at the Gamma Irradiation Facility of CERN. Strip cluster sizes for muons and strip cluster rates for gamma rays are sensitive to the threshold setting while the efficiency to muons is relatively insensitive. r 2003 Elsevier Science B.V.

Characteristics of a double gap resistive plate chamber for the endcap region of CMS/LHC: data vs. simulation in avalanche mode
We present the detailed analysis of the time and charge signals of a prototype double gap resistive plate chamber for the endcap region of the compact muon solenoid detector at CERN LHC. We demonstrate that the operating highvoltage plateau can be extended at least up to 400V with the present design. The simple avalanche multiplication model can reproduce the experimental charge spectra reasona...
متن کاملBeam Test Results on Resistive Plate Chambers for the CMS Experiment
Resistive Plate Chambers were tested in a muon and a pion beam to study the performances at different running conditions. Results on a first chamber built without the linseed oil treatment of the bakelite surfaces are presented together with an evaluation of the local effects due the spacers. These results are extrapolated to the conditions expected at LHC.
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 کاملImplementation of the data acquisition system for the resistive plate chamber pattern comparator muon trigger in the CMS experiment
This paper presents the implementation of the data acquisition system of the resistive plate chamber (RPC) subdetector in compact muon solenoid (CMS) experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in CERN. The described readout system connects with the RPC detector, the RPC link system, the RPC trigger system and the CMS data acquisition system and creates one of multiple metrological systems in...
