Performance and long-term aging studies on Eco-Friendly Resistive Plate Chamber detectors
D. Ahmadi, M. Tytgat
Resistive Plate Chambers detectors are extensively used in several domains of Physics. In High Energy Physics, they are typically operated in avalanche mode with a high-performance…
Long-term operation of the screen-printed graphite-based resistive coatings on the HPL electrode for the Resistive Plate Chamber
Davide Costa, Francesco Fallavollita, Hubert Kroha +6
The reliability of large-area Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs) operated under High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) conditions is governed by the long-term stability and ra…
Resistive Plate Chamber Detector Construction and Certification: State-of-the-Art Facilities at the Max Planck Institute for Physics, in Partnership with Industrial Partners
Davide Costa, Francesco Fallavollita, Hubert Kroha +6
Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs) featuring 1 mm gas volumes combined with high-pressure phenolic laminate (HPL) electrodes provide excellent timing resolution down to a few hundred…
Signal shape studies and rate dependence of HFO-based gas mixtures in RPC detectors
L. Quaglia, M. Abbrescia, G. Aielli +56
The RPCs employed at the LHC experiments are currently operated in avalanche mode, with a mixture containing a large fraction of CHF (90\% or more) with…
New Facilities for the Production of 1 mm gap Resistive Plate Chambers for the Upgrade of the ATLAS Muon Spectrometer
F. Fallavollita, O. Kortner, H. Kroha +5
The ATLAS Muon Spectrometer is undergoing a major upgrade for the High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC), including the addition of three new thin-gap Resistive Plate Chamber (RPC) layers in…
Preliminary results on the long term operation of RPCs with eco-friendly gas mixtures under irradiation at the CERN Gamma Irradiation Facility
L. Quaglia, D. Ramos, M. Abbrescia +55
Since 2019 a collaboration between researchers from various institutes and experiments (i.e. ATLAS, CMS, ALICE, LHCb/SHiP and the CERN EP-DT group), has been operating several RPCs…
