Description
Gas-volume production is the first crucial step in the construction of Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs), and Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) at the production site is essential to ensure the high quality of the new RPC detectors to be installed in a large-scale experiment such as ATLAS. The production of the gas volumes for the upgrade of the Barrel Inner (BI) layer of the Muon Spectrometer started in 2023 and is still ongoing. During the QA/QC campaign, a few issues were identified, leading to improvements in the gas-volume production procedure. These improvements were successfully implemented. The results of the QA/QC tests performed on the BI gas volumes produced so far will be presented and discussed, together with the corresponding production improvements.
