Description
A new Gamma Irradiation Facility (GIF++) to test detectors for the HL-LHC program is available at CERN and has started to be operational in 2015. This is a unique place where high energy charged particle beams (muon beam with momentum up to 100 GeV/c) are combined with a 14 TBq 137 Cesium source. The increase in luminosity at the HL-LHC will produce a higher particle background and the effects integrated over a long period of time will present a new challenge for particle detectors. Preliminary CMS Resistive Plate Chambers performance and stability results at the new GIF++ facility will be reported. Aging studies plans for the CMS RPC system will be also discussed.
