Description

This report presents the construction and performance of the resistive plate chambers used for the muon detection. In the upgrading of the CMS detector, a fourth layer of RPCs for the endcap region of the detector is being introduced. Various tests and techniques are implemented for constuction of a good quality chamber. This report presents thoses tests and techniques involved.

Other

Abbreviations: Resistive Plate Chambers: These are the parts of the CMS detector which detect muon particles which can easily pass through the inner parts of the detector so can not be detected there.
