Abstract
In this R&D, an innovative method for producing thin high-pressure laminate (HPL) electrodes for resistive plate chambers (RPC) for future high-energy experiments is introduced. Instead of 2-mm thick phenolic HPL, which has been used for conventional RPC triggers, the RPC electrodes in the present study are constructed by bonding thin HPL to a graphite-coated polycarbonate plate. A double-gap RPC prototype with a single-gap thickness of 1.0 mm to demonstrate the present technology has been constructed and tested for cosmic muons. Furthermore, the uniform detector characteristics shown in the test result allows us to explore the present technology in future high-energy experiments.
期刊介绍:
Section A of Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research publishes papers on design, manufacturing and performance of scientific instruments with an emphasis on large scale facilities. This includes the development of particle accelerators, ion sources, beam transport systems and target arrangements as well as the use of secondary phenomena such as synchrotron radiation and free electron lasers. It also includes all types of instrumentation for the detection and spectrometry of radiations from high energy processes and nuclear decays, as well as instrumentation for experiments at nuclear reactors. Specialized electronics for nuclear and other types of spectrometry as well as computerization of measurements and control systems in this area also find their place in the A section.
Theoretical as well as experimental papers are accepted.
