Abstract

In view of ALICE, the dedicated Heavy-Ion Experiment at LHC, a Resistive Plate Chamber (RPC) with electrodes made of low-resistivity bakelite (ρ≲3.5×10⁹ Ωcm) has been tested at the CERN SPS both in streamer and in avalanche mode. The chamber has shown a stable behaviour and excellent rate capability: its efficiency is better than 95% for local particle fluxes of about 1 and 10 kHz/cm² for operation in streamer and in avalanche mode, respectively. The cluster size and the time resolution have also been measured for both modes of operation.
