“…In the CMS muon system, three different and complementary detection technologies have been used, namely drift tube chambers (DT) in the barrel region (0 < |η| < 1.1), cathode strip chambers (CSC) in the endcap regions (0.9 < |η| < 2.4) and resistive plate chambers (RPCs) in both barrel and endcap regions [2]. In the present work we report the observations of the simulations of the RPC detector response to positron and electron sources.…”

Resistive plate chambers (RPCs) will be installed as one of the important tracking detectors both in the endcap and barrel area CMS muon stations. These stations will be exposed to high gamma, neutron and positron/electron background radiation environment during the LHC machine operation. For the safe operation of these detectors, it is necessary to monitor these kinds of radiation. A simulation test has been carried out with the RPC at e+/e− fluxes using the dose and fluence equivalent to LHC 10 years operation. The simulation studies of RPC to e+/e− of energy 0.1 < E < 100 MeV have been performed using the GEANT 3.21 and GEANT4 Monte Carlo packages. By employing these two packages, good agreement of the simulation results is attained.
