Description

The RPC performance is strongly dependent on the material used for the resistive electrodes. It must combine indeed an electrical resistivity adequate to the expected operation rate with a good mechanical strength to insure the gas gap uniformity. New materials are considered and some experimental results at cosmic ray rates are presented
