Description
India based Neutrino Observatory (INO) has plans to build an exceptionally large magnetized iron calorimeter (ICAL) of around 50K tonnes under the mountain. The main physics motive of ICAL is to study the atmospheric neutrinos and its oscillation parameters. The Resistive Plate Chamber (RPC) detector of glass electrodes is an active element of the ICAL. The complete dimension of the ICAL is 48m (L)×16m (W)× 14.5m (H), consists of three modules, each having area of 16m×16m and will consist of 151 horizontal layers of 5.6cm thick magnetized iron plates and 4cm gap for housing of active detector
