In spite of their apparent simplicity, RPCs feature a range of physical situations somewhat more complex than those found in most other gaseous detectors. These include the interplay between materials with different electrical characteristics, space-charge dominated avalanches evolving in very high electric fields and the propagation of fast signals on heterogeneous multiconductor transmission...

The India based Neutrino Observatory (INO) collaboration is planning to build a 50 kton magnetized iron calorimeter (ICAL) detector to study neutrino oscillations and measure their associated parameters[1]. ICAL will use 28,800 glass Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs) of 2m X 2m in size and operated in the avalanche mode, as its active detector elements. As a part of the detector R&D to develop...

In the past, simulation of RPCs down to charge distributions, efficiency and resolution, has been done by working out the induction characteristics of the avalanches over one of the surrounding electrodes, resulting on a current generator that is sent to a (necessarily bandwidth-limited) charge-sensitive amplifier. This fact inherently hides a difficulty for including the role of the detector...

Charge signal propagation through a stand-alone resistive strip has been calculated as a function of different parameters, including linear resistivity, capacitance, and input signal properties. These calculations will be validated with new micromegas prototypes which have been specially designed to include different strip resistivities and capacitances. The method used to calculate the signal...

The CMS RPC system operates successfully for more then two years. A brief history of the system performance will be presented, including the cosmic data, 2010 and 2011 collision data. The standard RPC simulation package will be described and some validation results will be shown.

Transforming the resistive plate chambers from charged-particle into gamma-quanta detectors opens the way towards their application as a basic element of a hybrid imaging system, which combines positron emission tomography (PET) with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in a single device. We present the first results towards the development of a hybrid imaging system based on multigap glass...

In the upcoming years, radioactive beam facilities as RIBF (Tokyo, Japan)[ http://www.rarf.riken.jp/Eng/facilities/RIBF.html], FRIB (East Lansing, USA)[http://frib.msu.edu/] or FAIR (Darmstadt, Germany)[http://www.fair-center.de/index.php?id=1] will explore properties of unstable nuclei located within the limits of nuclear matter, the so-called "drip-lines". The detection of high energy...
