- Abstract
- Resistive plate chambers (RPCs) have been chosen as a part of the muon trigger detectors in the CMS experiment. They are used both in the endcaps and in the barrel regions, and they have to work in an extreme radiation background. Test of glass-RPC detectors have been performed in order to investigate their performance in such situations. In the present work, the simulation response of glass-RPCs exposed to positrons/electrons is evaluated. As expected a lower sensitivity of glass-RPC with respect to the bakelite-RPC has been observed since the glass density is higher and therefore a lower fraction of electrons can reach the gas gap. The obtained results were applied to CMS/RPC endcap and barrel regions, and their respective sensitivities to those particles are reported together with hit rates. © 2007 Elsevier Ltd.
