- Abstract
- The resistive plate chamber (RPC) is a very successful wireless gaseous detector which is able to give >98% efficiency and 1 ns response. The absence of wire technologies and the cheap material involvement makes the production costs very low and therefore it can be used to build very large area detectors. This study describes the performance of a single gap sensitive RPC for a photons detector. The aim of this study is to understand the behaviour of a single gas gap RPC, in particular with 2 and 3 mm thickness, and to observe their response estimation at relatively small detection areas. The simulation studies have been performed using the GEANT3 and GEANT4 Monte Carlo packages. Good agreement is obtained between the experimental and simulated results. © 2007 The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.; C1
