摘要
A Semi-Digital Hadronic Calorimeter (SDHCAL) concept has been proposed for future leptonic collider experiments. The multigap resistive plate chamber (MRPC) is a candidate for the detector planes of this calorimeter. We have constructed three MRPCs of 1m x 1m size for tests of the SDHCAL. Two have 4 gas gaps and one has 5 gas gaps. To achieve high granularity for a calorimeter, the signals from the MRPC are readout by 1 x 1 cm(2) pads. The three MRPCs have similar design but the fishing line spacer has different configurations. All three MRPCs were successfully tested in the T10 test beam facility at CERN with a gas mixture of 95% C2H2F4 and 5% SF6. The efficiency and multiplicity of these chambers have been studied. All chamber reached around 94% efficiency at the proper operating voltage. (C) 2017 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.
