Performance of a Large-Area GEM Detector Prototype for the Upgrade of the CMS Muon Endcap System
D. Abbaneo, M. Abbas, M. Abbrescia +134
Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) technology is being considered for the forward muon upgrade of the CMS experiment in Phase 2 of the CERN LHC. Its first implementation is planned for…
Study of gas contaminants and interaction with materials in RPC closed loop system
S. Colafranceschi, R. Aurilio, L. Benussi +18
Resistive Plate Counters (RPC) detectors at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiments use gas recirculation systems to cope with large gas mixture volumes and costs. In this pape…
Candidate eco-friendly gas mixtures for MPGDs
L. Benussi, S. Bianco, G. Saviano +13
Modern gas detectors for detection of particles require F-based gases for optimal performance. Recent regulations demand the use of environmentally unfriendly F-based gases to be l…
Eco-friendly gas mixtures for Resistive Plate Chambers based on Tetrafluoropropene and Helium
M. Abbrescia, L. Benussi, S. Bianco +8
Due to the recent restrictions deriving from the application of the Kyoto protocol, the main components of the gas mixtures presently used in the Resistive Plate Chambers systems o…

Characterization of the GEM foil materials
L. Benussi, S. Bianco, G. Saviano +19
Systematic studies on the GEM foil material are performed to measure the moisture diffusion rate and saturation level. These studies are important because the presence of this comp…
Preliminary results of Resistive Plate Chambers operated with eco-friendly gas mixtures for application in the CMS experiment
M. Abbrescia, P. Van Auwegem, L. Benussi +11
The operations of Resistive Plate Chambers in LHC experiments require Fluorine based (F-based) gases for optimal performance. Recent European regulations demand the use of environm…
A study of HFO-1234ze (1,3,3,3-Tetrafluoropropene) as an eco-friendly replacement in RPC detectors
L. Benussi, S. Bianco, M. Ferrini +5
The operations of Resistive Plate Chambers in LHC experiments require F-based gases for optimal performance. Recent regulations demand the use of environmentally unfriendly F-based…
Study of gas purifiers for the CMS RPC detector
L. Benussi, S. Bianco, S. Colafranceschi +26
The CMS RPC muon detector utilizes a gas recirculation system called closed loop (CL) to cope with large gas mixture volumes and costs. A systematic study of CL gas purifiers has b…
