¿Whatwe are simulating? ResistivePlateChambers
Geometry FirstAproximation • Polyethylene (0.2 mm) • Graphite (0.2 mm) • Bakelite (2 mm) • Gas C2H2F4 (2 mm) • Aluminum (strips)(0.04 mm) • Air • Localized Electric Field (4.5 kV/mm)
Implementation • Particles: photons, electrons, positrons, muons and antimuons. • Processes: Compton Scattering, Photo Electric Effect, Gamma Conversion, Multiple Scattering, Ionization, Bremsstrahlung, Positron Annihilation and Pair Production. • Results: Histograms, Scatter Plots, Angles Distribution and Distance Distribution.
Conditions on the Simulation • Incidence of ten millions of muons through a Double RPC (perpendicular, fixed point) • Localized field in the region of the gas -4.5 kV/mm in the z axis (negative) • The results show electrons that come from photons in the gas region

Conclusions • The incidence of ten millions of muons produce a 0.09% (9242) of electrons that come from photons. • Only 0.09% (9) of electrons are produced to more than 10 cm of the point of incidence.
Conclusions • Only 2.7% (257) electrons are produced to more than 2.4 cm (1.2 cm) of the point of incidence.
