Cosmic ray test station for ATLAS RPC
Description
We describe the facility for RPC test with cosmic rays, designed and built at the laboratory of INFN and University of Naples. Trigger and tracking systems consist of a scintillator hodoscope and two drift chambers with track reconstruction resolution of ∼400 μm. Trigger is provided by the twofold coincidence of scintillators covering a surface of 1 m2. Two step motors move chambers synchronously along the station for RPC scanning. Up to eight RPCs can be tested simultaneously
