Observation of light from resistive plate chambers
نویسنده
چکیده
Electrically induced signals and light emissions from Restrictive Plate Chamber (RPC) are simultaneously measured using a glass RPC with transparent high-voltage planes, operating in the streamer mode. With one exception, good correspondence is seen in between the electrical and optical signals in every aspect: signal shapes, pulse heights, timing and afterpulses. The one exception is a possible limiting effect observed on the optical signal pulse height for a given pulse height of electrically induced signal. Shapes of the signal visually observed by eye are also described. PACS: 29.4O.C~ Keywords; Resistive plate chamber (RPC); Glass RPC; Transparent conductive paint

Resistive plate chambers performances at cosmic rays fluxes
In this paper detailed curves showing the behaviour of resistive plate chambers efficiency and time resolution as a function of temperature and operating voltage are presented. The results show that the operating voltage scales well according to the rule: operating voltage/gas density = constant.
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 the Resistive Plate Chambers for the ALICE Dimuon Arm
The trigger system for the ALICE Dimuon Arm will be based on Resistive Plate Chambers. A RPC prototype, with electrodes made of low resistivity bakelite (ρ ∼ 3·109Ωcm) has been tested both at the SPS and at the GIF. The results for operation in streamer mode are presented here.
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 کاملMechanisms affecting performance of the BaBar Resistive Plate Chambers and searches for remediation
The BaBar experiment at PEPII relies on the Instrumentation of the Flux Return (IFR) for both muon identification and KL detection. The active detector is composed of Resistive Plate Chambers (RPC’s) operated in streamer mode. Since the start of operation the RPC’s have suffered persistent efficiency deterioration and dark current increase problems. The "autopsy" of bad BaBar RPC’s revealed tha...
