Description

Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs) have played a crucial role as muon-trigger detectors in the major experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), including ATLAS, CMS, and ALICE, since the beginning of LHC operations. In the ATLAS experiment, RPCs provide fast trigger signals for muon identification in the barrel region and constitute a fundamental component of the Level-1 (L1) muon trigger system, responsible for bunch-crossing identification and transverse-momentum threshold assignment. This contribution presents an overview of the performance of the ATLAS RPC detector system as well as the L1 Muon Barrel trigger during LHC operations.
