Description

The Resistive Plate Chamber (RPC) detector system at the Compact Muon Solenoid experiment at the LHC confers robustness and redundancy to the muon trigger. A total of 1056 double-gap chambers cover the pseudo-rapidity region |η|≤1.6 . All ancillary system (high voltage, low voltage, environmental, gas, and cooling) are constantly and closely monitored to achieve operational stability and high quality data in the harsh conditions of the second run period of the LHC (√s = 13 TeV and 25 ns bunch spacing). Data from these ancillary systems are stored in the online database in order to analyze and tune detector performance. First results of overall detector stability with 2015 data and comparisons with data from the first LHC run period (√s = 8 TeV and 50 ns bunch spacing) are presented.
