High Rate Resistive Plate Chamber for LHC detector upgrades

Abstract

The limitation of the detection rate of standard bakelite resistive plate chambers (RPC) used as muon detectors in the LHC experiments has prevented the use of such detectors in the high rate regions in both CMS and ATLAS detectors. One alternative to these detectors are RPCs made with low resistivity glass plates ($10^{10}\Omega .cm$), a beam test at DESY has shown that such detectors can operate at few thousand Hz/cm${}^2$ with high efficiency(> 90%)
