Stability studies of sealed Resistive Plate Chambers
A. Blanco, P. Fonte, L. Lopes +1
The phase-out of hydro-fluorocarbons, owing to their high Global Warming Power, affecting the main gas used in Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs), tetrafluoroethane CHF, h…
Outdoor Systems Performace and Upgrade
L. Lopes, S. Andringa, P. Assis +17
Over the last two decades, the possibility of using RPCs in outdoors systems has increased considerably. Our group has participated in this effort having installed several systems…
The Mercedes water Cherenkov detector
P. Assis, A. Bakalová, U. Barres de Almeida +13
The concept of a small, single-layer water Cherenkov detector, with three photomultiplier tubes (PMTs), placed at its bottom in a star configuration (\emph{Mercedes}…
Muon identification in a compact single-layered water Cherenkov detector and gamma/hadron discrimination using Machine Learning techniques
R. Conceição, B. S. González, A. Guillén +2
The muon tagging is an essential tool to distinguish between gamma and hadron-induced showers in wide field-of-view gamma-ray observatories. In this work, it is shown that an effic…
Towards Sealed Resistive Plate Chambers
L. Lopes P. Assis, A. Blanco, P. Fonte +1
The mitigation of human-induced climate change is of crucial importance for the sustainability of humankind. For this aim the RPC community has exerted considerable effort over the…
