RPC radiation background simulations for the high luminosity phase in the CMS experiment

Abstract: The high luminosity expected from the HL-LHC will be a challenge for the CMS detector. The increased rate of particles coming from the collisions and the radioactivity induced in the detector material could cause significant damage and result in a progressive degradation of its performance. Simulation studies are very useful in these scenarios as they allow one to study the radiation environment and the impact on detector performance. Results are presented for CMS RPC stations considering the operating conditi… Show more

“…The present study extends our previous work [7,9] by discussing in depth the simulation strategy and methodology, improvement in the detector description and the estimation of detector response for a single triple-GEM detector as a function of incident particle's kinematical properties (energy, momentum direction). This work could also be useful for other muon systems simulation studies to estimate background response [10,11].…”

“…The hit rate is defined as the number of particles reaching the RPC station (particle flux, predicted by FLUKA simulations) convoluted with a detector response (sensitivity) [8][9][10]. Figures 8 and 9 show the MC iRPC hit rates expected at the base HL-LHC scenario with instantaneous luminosity of 5 × 10 34 cm −2 s −1 (integrated luminosity of 3000 fb −1 ) as a function of the radial distance from the interaction point.…”

“…Figure 7 shows the sensitivity values of the iRPC simulation as a function of the energy of the incident particles (neutrons, photons, electrons, and positrons) using GEANT4 [9]. The hit rate is defined as the number of particles reaching the RPC station (particle flux, predicted by FLUKA simulations) convoluted with a detector response (sensitivity) [9][10][11].…”

“…Particle fluxes predicted by FLUKA simulation have been convoluted with the RPC sensitivities for a given particle type to obtain the expected hit rate. Two sets of detector sensitivities [9,10] have been applied -for the upgrade iRPC chambers and the ones from the present RPC system. All values are averaged over azimuthal angle φ.…”
