Due to its advantages in large-area application situations, the R&D of the resistive plate chamber (RPC) has always been carried out. A performance test station for RPC R&D has been designed and developed based on the VME bus and ROOT in Linux. This system can be customized expediently according to the requirements of different tests, which facilitates detector R&D because of its automatic HV scan, especially for long-term test. With this system, we have implemented the RPC performance test, including the efficiency curve, counting rate, dark current and charge and timing resolution.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
