ATLAS RPC phase-2 proposalThe inner layer was already considered in the original project of the barrel trigger detector, but at that time the need for the 3rd station was not stringent and it was cancelled
Trigger performance improvements with the new RPC inner layer:- larger acceptance
The new chambers will substantially increase the trigger coverage by filling the acceptance holes due to the barrel toroid support
structures- increased selectivity
The larger lever arm and the improved spatial and time resolution of the new RPCs will allow to apply a sharper momentum cut- increased chamber redundancy and longevity
the new layer will increase the redundancy well above the current 3/4 low-pt majority. This could also allow to operate the middle chambers at lower voltage, decreasing the integrated charge, without loss in the overall trigger efficiency
Barrel trigger coverageHigh-Pt trigger acceptance currently limited at ~72%(only in barrel!) due to non-instrumented regions in:- feet + elevators (partial recovery in LS1)- toroid (and ribs) in BM chambers of small sectors
Holes are not projective and 3/3 RPC chambers are required in the trigger with RPC BI chambers use 3/4 request

Redundancy exploitationThe produced charge, responsible for the detector aging, can be reducedby decreasing the operating voltage(this is equivalent to work at lower rate and much lower current)The detector efficiency will consequently decrease
- the loss in efficiency is compensated by a less stringent requirement in low-pt trigger:
3/4 2/4 majority- the rejection power would be guaranteed by the additional RPC in the BI chambers

Requirements on the new RPCsAccording to Atlas requirements the qualification tests were done taking as reference luminosity L=1034 cm-2 s-1, assuming 10 years of running at max background rate of 100 Hz/cm2 (including a safety factor of 5 wrt simulation)
Expected max rate in new inner layer ~1 kHz/cm2:need to improve the long term RPC rate capability to sustain the LHC luminosity in phase-2
Limited space available for the installation in the inner layer: ~5cm
Reduced gas gain:- thinner gap 2 1 mm- thinner electrodes 1.8 1.2 mm - increased amplification in front-end electronics
Improved spatial and time resolution:- timing is improved by reducing the gap thickness- use ToT and charge centroid to improve spatial resolution
Reduced detector thickness- higher-quality mechanical structures

CMS RPC phase-2 proposalTwo types of upgrades proposed for the CMS RPC muon system:1. Aging and longevity: built in 2003
and installed in 2007, must continue to operate without significant degradation degradation (<eff> = 95%, CS < 3, noise < 1 Hz/cm2) well beyond the design expectations of the LHC; in particular, with respect to a large integrated radiation dose and also
a very long time period of operation.
2. Upgrade of high eta region: keep performance of trigger and low pT<20GeV threshold even at an increased luminosity• Background rejection and muon reconstruction• Costant trigger rate with PT < 20 GeV • HZZ*2m, 4m; Ht+t-mX; etc• NEW STATIONS RE3/1 and RE4/1

CMS RPC in muon reconstruction
• Recovery of efficiency
thanks to RPC tracking
During RUN1 the stability of the muon system has been assured thanks to the 2 independent trigger/detector systems.A major CSC faults occurred in the 2012 (7 chambers off in ring1) but thanks to the RPC (ring 2) we were able to recover part of the inefficiency even in this region. With a full coverage the system will be stable in case of any trouble.

CMS RPC in muon trigger• All 3 muon triggers (RPC,
DT, CSC) contribute to the stability of the muon trigger efficiency and to the control of the rate.
• From year 2016, all the muon data will be used in a unique algorithm in order to have more robust system in the view of the lumi/background increment planned.

4. The Quest for ecogases Ref: CMS Technical Proposal (July 2014)
The European Community has limited the industrial production and use of gas mixtures with Global Warming Power > 150 (GWP(CO2) = 1)
This is valid mainly for industrial (refrigerator plants) applications
C2H2F4 is the main component of the present RPC gas mixture:
GWP(C2H2F4) = 1430, GWP(SF6) = 23900, GWP(iC2H10) = 3.3
C2H2F4 and SF6 Crucial to ensure a stable working point in avalanche
Similar problem for CF4 (GWP = 5800) used in GEMs for time resolution
On the physical and chemical properties of this components we:
Designed FE electronics and chambers
Did all performance, ageing and calibration tests
D.Boscherini for the ATLAS Coll. and S.Bianco for the CMS Coll. R&D RPC phase2 - Rome May 9th 2014 19
Test molecules similar to C2H2F4 but with lower GWP
C3H2F4 – tetrafluoropropene (GWP=4)
Should replace C2H2F4 as automotive air-conditioning refrigerant
C2H4F2 – difluoroethane (GWP=120)
Also studied to replace C2H2F4 as a refrigerant
C2HF3Cl2 (GWP=93), others …
Plan to measure all the detector response parameter (time, charge spectrum, streamer separation, noise, efficiency, possibly drift velocity, etc)
HUGE PARAMETER SPACE, NEED TO DIVIDE MEASUREMENTS BETWEEN FACILITIES
Test at the GIF++ will follow on a short list of candidates ecogases to measure the performance in a realistic environment Rate capability, performance under stress, HF yield already being setup at GIF New ageing tests (to be performed also at GIF++)

TFP has a strong effect both in quenching and in keeping the charge at low levelmixtures are promising even for avalanche working mode with an appropriate FEE and a dedicated chamber layout
First results on new gas mixtures for RPCsGas mixtures tested:Ar/C4H10/TP 83-3-15with increasing % of SF6
Preliminary
A long R&D program is needed to analyze all the proposed gases and variants

The Quest for Ecogasescharacterizing interaction of candidate ecogases with RPC materials
• Chemistry• Reactivity• Outgassing• Production of HF ?• Production of other contaminants?– Ex.: CF3I under discharge releases CF3 strong acid and
corrosive• R&D on optical sensor for gas contaminants (see spares)• Before and after irradiation
D.Boscherini for the ATLAS Coll. and S.Bianco for the CMS Coll. R&D RPC phase2 - Rome May 9th 2014 24
5. Irradiation tests• Aging test on detectors and materials at GIF++
- strong gamma-ray source- muon-beam- cosmic ray telescope
• Beam test facility at Frascati- rate, efficiency, time resolution, sensitivity to photons and neutrons (Eγ<700MeV, En= 1-10 MeV)
• Test of FE electronics (aging and SEE) at various facilities (GIF++, Louvain, Lund, …)
- verify currently installed boards for 10-year equivalent dose at HL-LHC)
6. New trigger electronics (ATLAS)
The current system is not compatible with the Phase-2 trigger requests- 2 trigger levels (L0 + L1)- minimum 500 kHz L0 rate, minimum 200 kHz L1 rate- 6 µs L0 latency, 30 µs L1 latency- use of GBT system for the distribution of the LHC timing signals- readout system based on Felix
The current on-detector electronics will be replaced with the new DCT boxes (Data Collector Transmitter, about 800 in total)- use of FPGAs instead of ASICs for the on-detector electronics- the DCT box will collect RPC front-end data, and perform some simple logic before
sending the data off-detector
Most of the trigger logic will be located in the off-detector (USA15) new Sector Logic boards (64 in total):- increased algorithm flexibility, easier operations and maintenance, no radiation

R&D: new trigger electronics
Additional trigger logic with respect to the current one is being defined:- Increased trigger coverage could be feasible by changing the trigger algorithm (and
possibly by adding new RPCs in the inner barrel layer)- Increased steepness of the trigger turn-on curve could be feasible thanks to the
improved spatial resolution- Muon charge info could be added to the trigger data- Trigger thresholds could be fully programmable and more flexible (possibly > 6)
Interest in the project expressed by the INFN groups- Bologna, Napoli, Roma, Roma Tor Vergata (about 10 physicists, 4 FTE)
R&D:- 2 commercial FPGA evaluation boards (3 k€ ciascuna)- 2 adapter boards (1 k€ ciascuna)- 1 prototype (5 k€)

HPL: R&D relativo alla produzione di lastre di HPL a bassa resistività. Obiettivo è il raggiungimento di un valore di resistività inferiore di un ordine di grandezza rispetto a quello attualmente utilizzato (1÷6 x 1010 Ohm cm). Questo R&D è di interese comune ATLAS-CMS ma sarà seguito da CMS che ha studiato e contribuito allo sviluppo della produzione di HPL per RE4 con una nuova ditta di laminati (Puricelli) dopo la chiusura della ditta Panpla che aveva prodotto tutto l’ HPL per gli RPC degli esperimenti a LHC. La misura di resistività sarà fatta da CMS mentre il test della long term conductivity da ATLAS
