Aspects of operational conditions of a double gap prototype RPC for the CMS/LHC experiment

This paper presents the results from cosmic ray tests performed in the framework of R& D effort on the forward Resistive Plate Chamber (RPC) for CMS. A double gap RPC of dimensions 50×50 cm 2 with 2 mm gas gaps was tested. We report data on the use of tetrafluorethane-based gas mixture, with add...

Summary:This paper presents the results from cosmic ray tests performed in the framework of R& D effort on the forward Resistive Plate Chamber (RPC) for CMS. A double gap RPC of dimensions 50×50 cm 2 with 2 mm gas gaps was tested. We report data on the use of tetrafluorethane-based gas mixture, with additions of water vapour and SF 6. Efficiency, time resolution and cross-talk behaviour of the detector were investigated.
