In the view of the high luminosity run of LHC from 2015 onwards, during the last two years (2013/2014-Long Shutdown LS1) one of the major upgrades of the CMS experiment is completing and improving the muon system performances by installing a fourth layer of RPC detectors in the forward region. The fourth trigger station (on two new endcap disks) consists of 144 double-gap RPC chambers, which are assembled and tested at three different production sites-CERN (Switzerland/France), Ghent (Belgium) and BARC (India). The complete chamber construction, quality control procedures and preliminary results are detailed here.

Abstract

In the view of the high luminosity run of LHC from 2015 onwards, during the last two years (2013/2014-Long Shutdown LS1) one of the major upgrades of the CMS experiment is completing and improving the muon system performances by installing a fourth layer of RPC detectors in the forward region. The fourth trigger station (on two new endcap disks) consists of 144 double-gap RPC chambers, which are assembled and tested at three different production sites-CERN (Switzerland/France), Ghent (Belgium) and BARC (India). The complete chamber construction, quality control procedures and preliminary results are detailed here.
