摘要：

The purpose of this project is to develop a digital hadron calorimeter (DHCAL) using Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs) as active medium. RPCs are ideally suited for such a calorimeter: they, are simple in design. cheap to build, reliable and robust, and the readout can be segmented into small pads of say 1 cm(2), as required for a DHCAL at the Linear Collider. Work on developing these chambers has been underway at Argonne for about two years. Several single-gap and multi-gap chambers operating in avalanche mode have been built and have been tested thoroughly with sources and cosmic rays. Tests with up to 64 Pads of 1 cm(2) effort each are ongoing. Furthermore, considerable effort is dedicated to the development of the readout system, a challenge by, itselt given the large number of channels, of order 400K for the prototype and 50x106 for the entire DHCAL.
