SHiP (Search for Hidden Particles) is a proposed experiment to be installed at CERN, exploring the high intensity beam frontier, in order to study both hidden particles and tau neutrino and antineutrino physics.
The SPS proton beam interacting with the SHiP high density target is expected to produce a large neutrino flux, with about 10^15 ντ and ̅ντ in five years (integral p.o.t. 2∙10^20). A...
An online monitor with GUI interface has been developed for ATLAS Phase I RPC mass production in BB5, CERN. It could speed up the RPC cosmic ray tests which are the QC procedures after singlets and triplets RPC assembled.
The monitor could control VME controller and TDC e.g. start or end the DAQ. During the data taking, the monitor would read the data from TDC, reconstruct the event,...
For charged hadron identification, a high-performance time-of-flight (TOF) RPC wall is being built for the Compressed Baryonic Matter (CBM) experiment at FAIR. The Detector Control System(DCS) for CBM-TOF is designed based on the Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System(EPICS).
Instruments including high voltage power supply, low voltage power supply distributor and gas control...
The RPC (Resistive Plate Chamber) system at CMS detector operates successfully during Run-1 and Run-2 of the LHC program. During 2018 data taking, the instantaneous luminosity reached values of about of 2x10^34 cm⁻²s-1. During the planned HL-LHC period the instantaneous luminosity is expected to reach up to 5x10^34 cm⁻²s⁻¹ in the base scenario, and up to 7.5x10^34 cm⁻²s⁻¹ in the ultimate...
Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs) are sensitive to the passage of charged particles and represent a fast and cost-effective solution widely adopted in experiments at high-energy colliders when instrumenting large areas detectors.
In a high-radiation environment such as the ATLAS experimental area at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, where gammas and neutrons are copiously produced,...
Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs in the following) play a very important role as the dedicated system for muon triggering both in the barrel and in the endcap of the CMS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. It is therefore of primary importance to tune the operating voltage and the electronic threshold of the front-end boards reading the signals from these detectors in order to optimize the...
Single gap Resistive Plate Chamber (RPC) detectors are one of the options for the 3rd and 4th stations of Muon Chamber (MUCH) of the Compressed Baryonic Matter (CBM) experiment at future FAIR facility. From simulation it has been predicted that there will be a particle rate of 15 kHz/cm2 and 5.6 kHz/cm2 respectively on the 3rd and 4th stations for central Au-Au collisions at 8 AGeV. To handle...
The Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) has become a widely used technology for high-rate particle physics experiments like COMPASS, LHCb and are being planned to use as the readout system for the upcoming upgrade version of other experiments such as ALICE TPC.
The radiation hardness, ageing resistance and stability against discharges are the main criteria for the long-term operation of such...
The second LHC long shutdown period (LS2) is an important opportunity for CMS Resistive Plate Chambers (RPC) to realize their consolidation and upgrade projects. The consolidation includes detector maintenance in terms of gas tightness, HV, LV and slow control operation. All services for the RPC Phase-II upgrade, namely RE3/1 and RE4/1, were anticipated for installation to LS2. The upgrade of...
In the CMS experiment, RPCs, which have an excellent intrinsic resolution within a few nanoseconds for double-gap chambers, are mainly used for accurate timing and fast triggering. This particularly allows for the identification of corresponding bunch crosses. However, since the data-taking chain and DAQ system record the hit time within 25 ns, the intrinsic time resolution of RPCs is thus not...
