Within the framework of the TANGO_RD project, a novel gas detector architecture known as Resistive Cylindrical Chambers (RCC) is under active investigation. To effectively guide the hardware R&D, we are developing a dedicated, standalone simulation program. Designed to natively support both traditional planar geometries and the new cylindrical ones, this custom C++ framework relies on...

Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs) are commonly simulated using a multiscale approach in which Geant4 describes particle transport and energy deposition, while Garfield++ models gas ionization and avalanche development. In most existing workflows, these two frameworks are coupled sequentially: Geant4 outputs are exported and subsequently processed by Garfield++, preventing microscopic ava- lanche...

Talk

Resistive plates in gaseous detectors are commonly modelled as parallel RC circuits, possibly with a voltage-dependent resistance.
This approach has enabled substantial progress in the description of resistive-protection techniques, including induced-signal formation, rate capability, dynamic field fluctuations and charging-up times. However, real materials exhibit ideal RC-like behaviour...

There remains a significant discrepancy between the effective ionization rate measured at low pressure on a Pulsed Townsend (PT) setup and that obtained at ambient pressure with Resistive Plate Chambers (RPC). This mismatch becomes particularly pronounced at high reduced electric field strengths, i.e. equivalently in small-gap RPCs . In these fields, RPC measurements systematically yield lower...

Resistive plate chambers (RPCs) are widely used in high-energy physics. The induced signal is a waveform correlated with the avalanche production. Waveform studies, besides allowing the measurement of induced electric charge and time quantities, can also serve as a probe for analyzing individual avalanche processes. Given new regulations that drastically limit greenhouse gas emissions,...
