Abstract
Results from the gas gain monitoring (GGM) system for the RPC muon detector in the CMS experiment at the LHC are presented. The system is designed to provide fast and accurate determination of any shift in the working point of the chambers due to gas mixture changes.
Highlights
Resistive Plate Chambers (RPC) detectors are widely used in HEP experiments for muon detection and triggering at high-energy, high-luminosity hadron colliders, in astroparticle physics experiments for the detection of extended air showers, as well as in medical and imaging applications
At the LHC, muon systems of the CMS experiment rely on Drift Tubes (DT), Cathode Strip Chambers (CSC) and RPCs for their muon trigger system, with a total gas volume of about 50 m3
A monitoring system of the RPC working point due to changes of gas composition and pollution must provide a faster and sensitive response than the CMS RPC system itself in order to avoid irreversible damage of the whole system. Such a Gas Gain Monitoring system monitors efficiency and signal charge continuously by means of a cosmic ray telescope based on RPC detectors
