- Description: 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.

- Description: In order to investigate the neutron sensitivity we applied a realistic MC simulation based on GEANT3 code with MICAP and FLUKA interfaces for two different types of resistive plate chambers for CMS/LHC. In the present studies sensitivity calculations have been performed as a function of neutron energy in the range of 100 eV to 1 GeV. In the first setup using aluminum (GND+strips), the sensitivity for an isotropic neutron source was obtained to be Sn<9.04×10-3 at <100 MeV, while for the second setup using copper (GND+strips) sensitivity for the same source configuration is Sn<9.91×10-3 at <100MeV. Both the results are relative to an RPC in double-gap configuration with an isotropic neutron source. Additionally in these setups similar characteristics have been observed for parallel neutron source configuration. © 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
