Leak test of Resistive Plate Chamber gap by monitoring absolute pressure
2019
The differential pressure of a conventional manometer is highly dependent on the atmospheric pressure. The measurements with a manometer for an extended time period show a large variation due to solar
atmospheric tides. However, the measurements of absolute pressure, both outside and
insideof a resistive plate chamber (RPC), are independent of each other. By monitoring the absolute pressures, both outside and
insideof an RPC, along with the temperature, its leakage rate can be estimated. During the test period, the supporting button spacers
insidean RPC may get detached due to manufacturing defect. This effect can be detected clearly by observing the sudden fall of pressure
insidethe chamber.
