Fabrication of resistive plate chamber based on non-fragile material

  • 1. Department of Physics, Institute of Science, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi (India)

Description

India based Neutrino Observatory (INO) is going to use approximately 30,000 resistive plate chamber detector having dimension 2m x 2m. Resistive Plate chambers are parallel plate fast gaseous detector made up of high resistivity (1012 ohm-cm2) of glass or bakelite. Handling of glass of above dimension is very challenging due to its fragility. Disqualifying rate of such RPC is higher than the other material electrodes. To overcome the drawbacks of the above RPC detectors search of new material for the electrodes is required. The basic criteria for the selection of new material should be light weight, low cost, non-fragile and locally available
