Contribution to the completion of the forward Muon RPC detection system for the CMS experiment at the LHC collider at CERN. University of Antwerp
The Compact Muon Solenoid experiment has put emphasis on the detection and identification of muons;the only penetrating charged particle we know. At the LHC, the bunch crossing frequency will be 40 MHz,which, at the nominal luminosity of 10^34 cm-2s-1, leads to 800 million proton-proton collisions per second. Every25 nsec some 1000 particles emerge from the interaction point into the CMS spectrometer. In less than 3 microsec afirst level trigger ...
