An important potential large-scale application of RPC detectors in the near future is the ANUBIS detector at the HL-LHC, with a total gas gap area of about 8,000 m^2. The primary physics goal for the ANUBIS detector is searching for new long-lived particles (LLP) that are predicted in many extensions of the Standard Model with Dark Matter candidates. The ANUBIS detector will provide...
The proposed AN Underground Belayed In-Shaft (ANUBIS) experiment aims to search for long-lived particles (LLPs) within CERN's ATLAS underground cavern. Recent efforts to realise this experiment include the installation and commissioning of a prototype detector, proANUBIS, which has been collecting LHC collision data since in 2024. The key point physics programme of the proANUBIS demonstrator...
Besides High Energy Physics experiments, RPCs have been successfully employed also in cosmic ray physics, as demonstrated by ARGO experiment.
The detector readout is however very different from that used for particle tracking in collider experiments, based on strips behaving as transmission lines with non-negligible signal propagation time.
Cosmic ray detection with ground-based apparatuses...
Over the last two decades, the possibility of using RPCs in outdoors systems has increased considerably. Our group has participated in this effort having installed several systems and continues to work on their optimization, while simultaneously studying and developing new approaches that can to use of RPCs in outdoor applications.
In particular, some detectors were deployed in the field at...
The Trasgo detectors were proposed a few years ago for the measurement of cosmic rays at ground level with a very high angular resolution, with the ability to measure bundles of particles and with an electron/muon PID carried out by software. Now a new generation of detectors, the miniTrasgos, of only 0.1m2 of surface, has been launched and several of them have already been built and...
