The RPC system covers the barrel region of the ATLAS muon spectrometer in the
pseudo-rapidity range of |eta|<1.05 with six independent detector layers, and
solely provides the L1 trigger signal and the track coordinate in the
non-bending plane of the muon candidates.
The system has been designed to operate up to the nominal LHC luminosity
(1e34cm-2s-1) which has been already exceeded thanks...
The CMS experiment, located at the CERN Large Hadron Collider, has a redundant muon system composed by three different detector technologies: Cathode Strip Chambers (in the forward regions), Drift Tubes (in the central region), and Resistive Plate Chambers (both its central and forward regions). All three are used for muon reconstruction and triggering. The CMS RPC system confers robustness...
The ALICE Time Of Flight (TOF) detector is based on Multigap RPC. The TOF covers the ALICE central barrel by means of an array of 1638 MRPC strips for more than 150000 readout channels, for a total active area of $140~m^2$. Thanks to its excellent time resolution and efficiency, the TOF provides a fundamental contribution regarding the Particle IDentification (PID) in p-p, p-Pb and Pb-Pb...
The muon telescopes of the Extreme Energy Events (EEE) Project are made of three Multigap Resistive Plate Chambers (MRPC). The EEE array is composed, so far, of 53 telescopes and is organized in clusters and single telescope stations distributed all over the Italian territory. They are installed in High Schools with the aim to join research and teaching activities, by involving researchers and...
The CMS muon system is operating in the conditions of increasing instantaneous luminosity. During run2 the energy of the collisions in the center of mass is 13 TeV. This leads naturally to very high level of the radiation from different sources – collision and beam induced background and activation of the materials, as well. Particles that scatter around in the cavern and are reflected back to...
The Level-1 Muon Barrel Trigger is one of the main elements of the event selection of the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider.
Its input stage consists of an array of processors receiving the full granularity of data from Resistive Plate Chambers in the central area of the ATLAS detector ("Barrel").
The RPCs, placed in the barrel region of the ATLAS detector, are arranged in three...
