Abstract

The ARGO-YBJ experiment is a full-coverage array of Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs) covering a surface of 74 × 78 m2 surrounded by a guard ring. It has been running almost uninterruptedly with its complete layout since November 2007. However, the work to optimize the stability of the experimental setup is still going on. The recorded daily and seasonal changes of temperature and barometric pressure affect the behaviour of the detector, in particular the time resolution and somehow the efficiency. Here a procedure is described for the equalization and the stabilization of the detector response.
