Electric field and currents in resistive plate chambers
نویسنده
چکیده
A method of three-dimensional electric fields calculation that takes into account the presence of surface currents has been realized. Different versions of the resistive plate chamber (RPC) design were simulated. Calculations of electric fields, currents and comparison with the measured values of currents were made. Recommendations relative to an optimal graphite coating in the basic RPC scheme under consideration are given.

Simulation of Space Charge Effects in Resistive Plate Chambers
Multigap resistive plate chambers [1] with 0.3-mm gas gaps operated in avalanche mode at atmospheric pressure have reached timing accuracies below 50 ps (standard deviation) with efficiencies above 99% [2]. The avalanches in high homogeneous electric fields of 100 kV/cm are strongly influenced by space charge effects which are the main topic of this paper. We extend a previously discussed Monte...
متن کاملApplications and New Developments in Resistive Plate Chambers
Resistive Plate Chambers are rugged and affordable gas detectors that have found extensive use in high-energy physics and astroparticle experiments. The main features of these counters are the very large pulse height, reduced cost per unit area and good (about 1ns) time resolution. The field has enjoyed very active progress in recent years, including the introduction of a new (avalanche) mode o...
متن کاملResistive Plate Chamber Performance in the BaBar IFR System
The BaBar Collaboration has operated a system covering over 2000 m with resistive plate chambers for nearly three years. The chambers are constructed of bakelite sheets separated by 2 mm. The inner surfaces are coated with linseed oil. This system provides muon and neutral hadron detection for BaBar. Installation and commissioning were completed in 1998, and operation began mid-1999. While init...
متن کاملStudy 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 کاملRate effects in a proportional counter with resistive cathode
In this work, the rate effects associated with the gain of detectors with resistive electrodes are considered. To study these effects it was decided to use the classical proportional counter geometry, with a cylindrical glass tube as the cathode, rather than parallel plate devices. Indeed, the generality of the information obtained is not affected and the cylindrical proportional counter geomet...
