Abstract

Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs) are gaseous detectors with high performance, robustness, and construction simplicity used for many years in HEP experiments. In this work, prototypes with 1.0 mm gas gap thickness and 1.43 mm HPL electrode thickness, are characterized. The prototypes were tested under a muon beam and different intensities of gamma background radiation at GIF++ to measure the muon efficiency, muon cluster size, and time resolution among other performance features related to the 1.0 mm-gap thickness. As well, the last section reports the results of the detector response using eco-friendly gas mixtures based on HFO (R1234-ze) and CO2.
