Performance of Glass Resistive Plate Chambers for a high granularity semi-digital calorimeter

Instrumentation and Detectors 2011-02-18 v2 High Energy Physics - Experiment

Abstract

A new design of highly granular hadronic calorimeter using Glass Resistive Plate Chambers (GRPCs) with embedded electronics has been proposed for the future International Linear Collider (ILC) experiments. It features a 2-bit threshold semi-digital read-out. Several GRPC prototypes with their electronics have been successfully built and tested in pion beams. The design of these detectors is presented along with the test results on efficiency, pad multiplicity, stability and reproducibility.
