Description

A real-sized trapezoidal Resistive Plate Chamber (RPC) has been developed for
the Muon Chamber (MuCh) detector set-up in the upcoming Compressed Baryonic
Matter (CBM) experiment at the Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR),
Darmstadt, Germany. The detector has been tested for its performance with dedicated
self-triggered electronics and DAQ chain in presence of a very harsh photon
environment at GIF++ facility, CERN, Switzerland during November-2021 beamtime
followed by particle rate handling capability test at the m-CBM set-up at GSI,
Darmstadt, Germany. At GIF++, the detector was tested for its muon detection
efficiency and other related properties in presence of different photon flux incident on
it as a background ranging from 0 MHz/cm2 to 2.72 MHz/cm2. Voltage scan and
threshold scan were performed at different locations of the incident muon beam on
the detector. Previously the performance of the detector was tested in the local
laboratory with cosmic rays to optimize its operational parameters.
The various successful test results and future perspectives of the
development will be presented.
