CMS RPC R&D for phase 2 Two types of upgrades proposed for the CMS RPC muon system: 1.Aging and longevity: installed in 2007, must continue to operate without significant degradation well beyond the design expectations of the LHC; in particular, with respect to a large integrated radiation dose and also a very long time period of operation.

Single Event Effects study on the FE boards of the improved RPC ( ) Motivations: study of radiation transient effects on the FE electronics of the iRPC Study : cross section measurement of the transient fenomena induced by neutrons on the open input FE boards. We plan to use the following facilities: the Triga Mark II reactor in Pavia and the Louvain cyclotron. The first one covers a energy range till 18MeV which can be extended till 50MeV by the second one. Setup : a measurement station has been already assembled and used for previous tests. The station has been instrumented with : VME crate, LVoltage PS, VME scalers, NIM crate and NIM modules, PC. Additional costs to be addressed: – irradiation and targets for flux measurement at Triga Mark II  4kEuro – irradiation and transport costs for Louvain  7kEuro

HPL: R&D relativo alla produzione di lastre di HPL a bassa resistività. Obiettivo è il raggiungimento di un valore di resistività inferiore di un ordine di grandezza rispetto a quello attualmente utilizzato (1÷6 x Ohm cm). Questo R&D è di interese comune ATLAS-CMS ma sarà seguito da CMS che ha studiato e contribuito allo sviluppo della produzione di HPL per RE4 con una nuova ditta di laminati (Puricelli) dopo la chiusura della ditta Panpla che aveva prodotto tutto l’ HPL per gli RPC degli esperimenti a LHC. La misura di resitività sarà fatta da CMS mentre il test della long term conductivity da ATLAS Tot35 HPL20 Transportation5 Resistivity Meas10 Acquisto di un batch di HPL (1 batch= 80 lastre da 1.6 m x 3.2 ;). Questo quantitativo è sufficiente per un certo numero di prototipi da 1mq per entrambi gli esperimenti e per circa 5 prototipi0 (fulls size) per ogni esperimento : 8 kEuro Sperimentazione bassa resistività presso la ditta Puricelli : 12 kEuro (basato su circa 50 test ) Misure di resistività: costruzione di uno strumento portatile per la misura di resistività (alimentatore,adc,elettrovalvole, consumables) 7 keuro Test di long term conductivity sull’HPL : 3 keuto Trasporti: le lastre saranno tagliate presso una ditta milanese e inviate alla GT per la costruzione dei prototipi: 5 keuro
