Description
OPERA is an underground neutrino oscillation experiment to search the ντ
appearence from a pure νμ beam produced in the CNGS. A large VETO
system, consisting of two 10.0 × 9.2 m 2 planes made of electronic
detectors, is foreseen to flag the events due to the neutrino interactions
with the rock surrounding the OPERA detector. The VETO is realized using
Glass Resistive Plate Chamber (GRPC) developed at LNGS. In this poster we
describe the detectors, its construction and the test performed in the
dedicated OPERA test facility to validate the chambers before the installation
in the Hall C of the underground laboratories.
