High Altitude test of RPCs for the ARGO-YBJ experiment
The ARGO-YBJ Collaboration
TL;DR
This paper reports on the performance testing of RPC detectors at high altitude, focusing on efficiency and time resolution under conditions typical of mountain laboratories for cosmic ray detection.
Contribution
It presents the first high-altitude test results of RPCs for the ARGO-YBJ experiment, evaluating their performance in real mountain laboratory conditions.
Findings
RPCs achieved high efficiency in detecting air showers
Time resolution was suitable for cosmic ray measurements
Performance data supports RPC use in high-altitude experiments
Abstract
A 50 m**2 RPC carpet was operated at the YangBaJing Cosmic Ray Laboratory (Tibet) located 4300 m a.s.l. The performance of RPCs in detecting Extensive Air Showers was studied. Efficiency and time resolution measurements at the pressure and temperature conditions typical of high mountain laboratories, are reported.
