Performance of RPCs operated at the Yangbajing Laboratory
Abstract
The ARGO-YBJ experiment will be installed at YangBaJing Cosmic Ray Laboratory (Tibet, China), 4300 m a.s.l . It consists of a full coverage of ∼ 104 m2 realized with RPC chambers. A small carpet of ∼ 50 m2 has been operated at YangBaJing in order to check the RPC performance in these high altitude conditions. Results concerning efficiency and time resolution are reported.
