Abstract

The Resistive Plate Chamber (RPC) is widely used in experiments of high energy physics as trigger detector as its good time resolution and high efficiency. In the traditional layout of RPC, the graphite layers are indispensable parts. The working voltage is applied on these layers and the charge of avalanche dissipates through them. In this paper, a new design which removes the graphate layers is proposed to improve the structure of this detector. With this new design, the negative effect from the ununiformity of graphite is eliminated and the structure of detector is simplified.
