RPCs will be used as trigger detectors in the barrel region of the, Muon Spectrometer of the ATLAS experiment at LHC. The total number of RPC units to be installed is 1088, covering a total surface of about 3500 m(2). ATLAS RPCs work in avalanche mode with C2H2F4/C4H10/SF6 (94.7%/5%/0.3%) gas mixture. A cosmic ray test stand has been designed and built in Naples laboratories in order to carry out a complete test of the ATLAS RPC units. Since August 2002 about 300 units have been tested. A description of the test stand, test procedure and results are presented.

Abstract
RPCs will be used as trigger detectors in the barrel region of the, Muon Spectrometer of the ATLAS experiment at LHC. The total number of RPC units to be installed is 1088, covering a total surface of about 3500 m(2). ATLAS RPCs work in avalanche mode with C2H2F4/C4H10/SF6 (94.7%/5%/0.3%) gas mixture. A cosmic ray test stand has been designed and built in Naples laboratories in order to carry out a complete test of the ATLAS RPC units. Since August 2002 about 300 units have been tested. A description of the test stand, test procedure and results are presented.File in questo prodotto:
