Abstract

Resistive Plate Chamber (RPC) is a type of gaseous detector having excellent time and position resolutions. VECC is involved in the R\&D of indigenously developed bakelite RPCs. The largest size of bakelite RPC developed in India is 100 cm ×\times 100 cm. We present here the test results of a bakelite sample along with the cosmic ray test results of a bakelite RPC (30 cm ×\times 30 cm ×\times 0.2cm) fabricated at VECC. The steps taken towards the development of a large size (240 cm ×\times 120 cm ×\times 0.2 cm) bakelite RPC have also been discussed.
