The cosmics rays quality test procedure for the CMS barrel resistive plate chambers

  • 1. Dipartimento Interateneo di Fisica and Sezione INFN, Bari (Italy)

Description

CMS experiment will use resistive plate chambers (RPCs) as dedicated muon trigger detectors. This requires good chamber global and local performance. To verify the chamber performance intensive tests are going on using a telescope installed at Bari Physics Department. The chamber efficiency is obtained by track reconstruction, which offers also the possibility to perform local efficiency studies. A brief description of the test set-up, reconstruction algorithm and test results are presented in this paper
