43. RPC 2016 - THE XIII WORKSHOP ON RESISTIVE PLATE CHAMBERS AND RELATED DETECTORS

Mr Vincent FRANÇAIS (LPC)

Many experiments use Resistive Plate Chambers operated in avalanche mode, as timing or tracking charged-particle detector. Monte-Carlo simulation of physical processes is an important tool for detector development as it allows to predict signal pulse amplitude and timing, time resolution, efficiency and so on. Simulations for RPC-like detector are not widespread, and most of the time they use...

44. Numerical study on the effect of design parameters and spacers on RPC time resolution

The ICAL (Iron CALorimeter) set-up at India-based Neutrino Observatory (INO) [1] will use a large number of Resistive Plate Chambers (RPC) as the active detector element which will be stacked one above the other with alternate iron layers. The timing and spatial information from the RPCs will help determining the track of a muon produced from the interaction of atmospheric neutrino with the...

45. Robust and fast emulation of RPC waveforms

We present a simple yet powerful emulation software, devised to compute waveforms from few structural parameters of the Resistive Plate Chamber. In the first emulation step, the core algorithms are based on some simplified hypotheses, both for the space-time dependence of the local electric field and for the readout equivalent circuit. (Initially) Indeed setting the gap width, the primary...

46. Study of MRPC simulation performance at BESIII

Mrs An Fenfen (IHEP)

2/24/16, 12:10 PM

The BESIII detector runs in the tau-charm physics energy region operated at the Beijing Electron Positron Collider (BEPCII). The endcap of its time-of-flight (TOF) subdetector is planned to be upgraded with MRPC. We installtwo testing MRPC modules into BESIII and have collected some experimental data under various high voltage and thresholds. A GEANT4-based Monte-Carlo model is under...
