Abstract
This paper presents the study on the characterization of glass electrodes, which are one of the main components of detectors like Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs). The RPCs are being used in various ongoing High Energy Physics experiments, e.g., BELLE at KEK, CMS at LHC, and would be used in the near future experiments e.g., INO-ICAL in India. The characterization of glass electrodes has been done to understand the factors like quality of glass that can help in improving the detector's performance. The glass samples chosen were procured locally Asahi (A), Saint Gobain (S), Modi (M) that are easily available in Indian industry. The characterization includes the tests to study the optical, surface, physical, electrical properties, the composition of glass samples, and leakage currents. This paper adds new information to the existing body of research on the subject. Based on the techniques discussed in the paper a comparison of the measurements among the three different types of glass electrodes has been done. This study helps us to determine the best quality of glass that can be chosen for better operation of the detectors.
