Abstract

Resistive Plate Chamber (RPC) is a well-known gaseous detector in the field of High Energy Physics (HEP) experiments for its good tracking capability, high efficiency, good time resolution, and low cost of fabrication. The main issue in RPC is its limitation in the rate handling capability. Several experimental groups have developed sophisticated techniques to increase the particle rate capability and reduce the noise rate of this detector. In this article, we discussed a new method for linseed oil coating in case of bakelite RPC detector to achieve good efficiency and the results obtained using a conventional gas mixture.
