Temperature and humidity dependence of bulk resistivity of bakelite for resistive plate chambers in CMS
Abstract
This paper presents data obtained in a systematic study on the bulk resistivity of Korean bakelite as a function of temperature in the range 20-30°C and relative humidity in the range 35-65%. Strong dependence of resistivity on both temperature and humidity was observed. Measurements were carried out in the framework of R&D work on Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs) which will be used in the CMS detector.
