Abstract:
Search of the different phase transitions and critical points, predicted
by Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) is a challenging task for the ongoing
and next generation experiments at relativistic and ultra-relativistic
energies. Rare probes and multi-differential studies, mandatory for
understanding the physics behind the observed experimental trends,
require unprecedented statistics. This could be achieved using high
luminosity or high intensity beams and experimental setups based on
detection and identification systems which at least maintain the
performance of the present ones but in a very high counting rate
environment. An experiment where such collisions will be performed is
the future Compressed Baryonic Matter (CBM) experiment at the Facility
for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) in Darmstadt. This experiment
is expected to cope with interaction rates up to 10 MHz for Au-Au
collisions. CBM experiment is supposed to run for 2 months a year for 10
years, hence ageing tests of different sub-detectors, Front End
Electronics (FEE) and components of the Data Acquisition (DAQ) in high
irradiation dose are mandatory. One of the main sub-detectors of CBM
is the Time-of-Flight (ToF) wall based on Resistive Plate Counters (RPC)
essential for particle identification.
Studies of ageing effects on Multi-Strip Multi-Gap RPC (MSMGRPC) in high irradiation dose and proposed solution for their reduction will be presented.
