High Altitude test of RPCs for the ARGO-YBJ experiment
arXiv:hep-ex/9909034 · doi:10.1016/S0168-9002(99)01079-7
Abstract
A 50 m**2 RPC carpet was operated at the YangBaJing Cosmic Ray Laboratory (Tibet) located 4300 m a.s.l. The performance of RPCs in detecting Extensive Air Showers was studied. Efficiency and time resolution measurements at the pressure and temperature conditions typical of high mountain laboratories, are reported.
