The performance at low pressure of 2 mm gap bakelite Resistive Plate Chambers, operated in streamer mode with a gas mixture of 58% Ar, 40% n-butane and 2% CF3Br, have been studied. Efficiency, time resolution and strip multiplicity appear satisfactory up to pressures of about 600 mbar, corresponding to altitudes around 4000 m a.s.1.

Abstract
The performance at low pressure of 2 mm gap bakelite Resistive Plate Chambers, operated in streamer mode with a gas mixture of 58% Ar, 40% n-butane and 2% CF3Br, have been studied. Efficiency, time resolution and strip multiplicity appear satisfactory up to pressures of about 600 mbar, corresponding to altitudes around 4000 m a.s.1.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
