Abstract
The Muon Chamber (MuCh) is a sub-system of the Compressed Baryonic Matter (CBM) experiment for the detection of low-mass-vector mesons produced in high energy heavy-ion collisions at beam energies ranging from 2 AGeV to 11 AGeV and decaying in the di-muon channel. MuCh consists of a segmented absorber and four detector triplet stations sandwiched between the absorber segments. At the 3rd and 4th stations of MuCh, Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs) have been conceived for muon tracking. We have tested the performance of a low resistivity bakelite RPC prototype equipped with self-triggered front end electronics (MuCh-XYTER) for the CBM Muon Chamber. A systematic study on the muon detection efficiency and time resolution has been carried out in a high-rate photon background at the Gamma Irradiation Facility (GIF++) at CERN. The details of the measurement setup and the results are presented here.
