Efficiency study of RPC detector in drastic environment

In this article, we performed the experiment to study the efficiency of the glass electrodes base RPC detector under any drastic circumstances such as failure of electric power, huge jump in the relative humidity etc. Such kind of scenario may be possible during the operation of INO-ICAL. We performed this study along with the use of Silicon Fiber Sheet based pickup panel. We are aware that relative humidity changes when temperatures change. Because warm air can hold more water vapor than cool air, therefore, relative humidity falls when the temperature rises, if no moisture is added to the air. The dew point is the temperature at which a given sample of air will have a relative humidity of 100%; hence, the saturation temperature. Some study, in a limited range of temperature and humidity has been done for the performance of the RPC detector
