OVERVIEW Where do we come from CMS and the RPC muon detectors Gas contaminants studies Gas gain monitoring system Physics analysis tasks Papers Conclusions S.Bianco CMS Frascati - LNF Scientific Committee
Historical Touch (I) Our group forms in the 80’s with NA1 at CERN, then activity in FOCUS at Fermilab, LVD at G.Sasso, KLOE and FINUDA at LNF and finally BTeV at Fermilab. Previous experience in HEP detectors concentrated on calorimetry (NA1, FOCUS, KLOE) and strawtubes (FINUDA and BTeV). Traditional physics topics of interest in Heavy Flavours spectroscopy (FOCUS). Strong activity in FINUDA analysis (hypernuclear spectroscopy). S.Bianco CMS Frascati - LNF Scientific Committee
Fixed frame Sliding frame Historical Touch (II) In BTeV our group conceived, proposed and developed the strawtube-microstrips integration in the forward tracker, introducing the novel solution of glued straws embedded in a Rohacell lattice without mechanical tension. We also introduced the Fiber Bragg Grating sensors technique in HEP, using them in FINUDA for the first time, and generalizing their use in BTeV for straws, microstrips and pixels.

GAS STUDIES • Resistive Plate Chambers (RPC) detectors are widely used in HEP experiments for muon detection and triggering at high-energy, high-luminosity hadron colliders, in astroparticle physics experiments for the detection of extended air showers, as well as in medical and imaging applications. • While gain and efficiency stability are always a must, in the case of RPC detectors in high-rate experiments which use freon-based gas mixtures, utmost care has to be paid also for the possible presence of gas contaminants. • The RPC detector of experiment CMS at the LHC proton collider (CERN, Switzerland) will employ a gas analysis and monitoring system for the online monitor of the freon-based gas mixture used. • The gas monitoring system is based on small RPC detectors whose working point (gain and efficiency) is continuously monitored online. The gas monitoring system is designed to provide fast and accurate determination of any shift in working point conditions. • Quantitative gas chemical analysis is then performed online by a complete system which includes gas-chromatography, pH sensors and contaminants (notably HF) detectors. S.Bianco CMS Frascati - LNF Scientific Committee
THE CMS CLOSED LOOP GAS SYSTEM • Because of high cost and huge volumes of the Freon-based gas mix used, CMS will use a recirculation (Closed Loop) gas system developed by the CERN gas group. • The Closed Loop is a critical component of RPC. CMS has accumulated experience on its use and performances during the test at the Gamma Irradiation Facility at CERN in 2001, and currently at the ISR where chambers are tested in CL prior to installation. • At the GIF facility we observed substancial production of HF, linearly correlated with the signal current S.Bianco CMS Frascati - LNF Scientific Committee
CLOSED LOOP GAS RECIRCULATION Purifiers are THE crucial component S.Bianco CMS Frascati - LNF Scientific Committee

S.Bianco CMS Frascati - LNF Scientific Committee
CERN Closed Loop Gas System • We proposed to study presence of contaminants and their type ofaccumulation in the Closed Loop Gas system (same for CMS and ATLAS) • Current values in ISR Test Chambers decrease as the gas circulation changes from a closed to an open loop • We are coordinating a three-phase study of CL • Phase 1 September 06 - study contemporaneous to chamber testing. Limited by current values. • Phase 2 March 07 - Dedicated testing of DG’s and SG’s • Phase 3 ? - Dedicated testing at GIF possibly synergy with ATLAS S.Bianco CMS Frascati - LNF Scientific Committee
CERN Closed Loop Gas system • All system components should be characterized: • Bakelite (all different types of bakelite) • Zeolite (all different zeolite filters) • Other filters based on Cu and Zn and oxides • Gas by means of a systematic sampling of the different parts during all of the system work phases S.Bianco CMS Frascati - LNF Scientific Committee
Phase 1: ISR sampling September 2006 • Samples (unused, contaminated, regenerated) have been collected: • Purifiers: • Zeolite • Ni Al2O3; • Cu, Cu Zn • Pipes Cu • Neither oiled nor used bakelite • Unused bakelite oiled with graphite S.Bianco CMS Frascati - LNF Scientific Committee

Characterization of zeolite and other filters (Cu, Cu Zn; Ni, Al2O3) • Zeolites and otherfilters have been sampled (unused, contaminated, regenerated). On these samples, analyses have been performed: • Chemical analyses on major and trace elements, also sulphur, and carbon (graphitic, total and organic) • Ionic chromatography to analyze fluorine • XRD analyses to identify zeolite and to evaluate a possible crystalline structure of compounds, occurring after gas filtering The aims of these analyses are: • to characterize contaminants in filters • to identify their form (crystalline, in solution, amorphous) • to define the filters composition after regeneration S.Bianco CMS Frascati - LNF Scientific Committee
