    Bulk resistivity of electrode materials is very important for the performance of Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs). Surface resistivity of the electrode plate also play crucial role to reduce the micro discharge inside the RPC. Detailed studies have been made on both the bulk resistivity and surface resistivity of carbon-loaded Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) material commonly known as Teflon....

    The upgrade of the High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) will boost the instantaneous luminosity to 5-7 ร— 10^34 cmโปยฒsโปยน, increasing particle fluxes in the forward region of the CMS detector. The high particle flux can damage electronics and induce spurious signals. This study focuses on the GE1/1 triple-GEM detectorโ€™s sensitivity to both neutral and charged background particles, performed using FLUKA...

    Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs) are widely employed in high-energy physics experiments due to their excellent timing and efficiency capabilities. However, the conventional freon-based gas mixtures employed in RPCs contribute significantly to greenhouse gas emissions due to their high Global Warming Potential (GWP). This study examines the performance of a single-gap glass RPC detector (30 cm x...

    Muography exploits naturally occurring cosmic-ray muons, produced by interactions of primary cosmic rays with atmospheric nuclei, for imaging applications. At sea level, muons are the most abundant charged particles, with an intensity of $\sim$1 cm$^{-2}$ min$^{-1}$. Over the past two decades, muon radiography has been applied in diverse contexts, including nuclear safety (monitoring spent...

    the ATLAS experiment at HL-LHC are reported. An ATCA blade with an XCVU13P FPGA
    and the firmware to identify muon candidates have been developed. The firmware
    uses detector hits from the Thin Gap Chambers (TGC) to reconstruct candidates
    and takes the coincidence with data from other inner muon detectors,...

    The Tile Calorimeter (TileCal) is a sampling hadronic calorimeter covering the central region of the ATLAS experiment, with steel as absorber and plastic scintillators as active medium. The scintillators are read-out by the wavelength shifting fibres coupled to the photomultiplier tubes (PMTs). The analogue signals from the PMTs are amplified, shaped, digitized by sampling the signal every 25...

    About 80% of the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions at CERN arise from the use of fluorinated gases in gaseous particle detectors, primarily C$_2$H$_2$F$_4$, SF$_6$ and CF$_4$, reaching the order of hundred-thousands of tCO$_2$e per year. This is challenging not only from an environmental perspective, but also due to financial and regulatory considerations. In the following years, the purchase of...
