    Description
    BABAR has ~2000 m 2 of resistive plate chambers in the Instrumented Flux Return muon detector. The RPCs, in the streamer mode, have suffered significant efficiency losses since installation in 1999. Our studies of possible causes have focused on the linseed oil coating used in the BABAR RPCs. First results from a new RPC production using thinner oil coatings will also be discussed.
