HV50 distributions of Barrel and Endcap: According to the their position the RPCs are subdivided in 2 or 3 eta partitions, called roll. Each roll has a readout and thus it might be considered as an individual detector unit. These plots compare four HV Scans, one done during run2 of the LHC (2015) and the other three during run1 (2011, 2012_1, 2012_2) in order to monitor the chamber performance. The HV50 is defined as the high voltage at which every roll reaches 50% of the plateau efficiency. The distributions are very similar therefore no obvious ageing effect is observed. The different HV50 values for Barrel and Endcap chambers depends on different construction techniques used. Contact: cms-dpg-conveners-rpc@cernNOSPAMPLEASE.ch |

System noise rate: The RPC rate is measured also during the cosmics data taking in between the collisions runs. The plot represents the rate level in barrel, endcap and system average from 2011 to 2015. Fluctuations in the rate are mainly due to post-collisions radiation, threshold value optimization vs efficiency and operating channels number change. Though the blue and the green curves show similar drift behavior, no significant spike correlations are observed . The overall trend show minor increase in the system rate with time, which is well below the official CMS requirement of rate < 5 Hz/cm2. The end points of the barrel and endcap curves (2015 data taking) get close together since we have lower noise in the RE4 (around 0.05) which lowers the average of the measured endcap rate.

Efficiency History for RE1 RE2 RE3: The plot represents the history of the RPC efficiency for the first three endcap stations (run1 system) evaluated with the 2015 physics data taking. The fluctuation in the middle of June are due to the performed HV scan. The fluctuations in the beginning of October are due to the performed threshold scan. The effective HV depends on the environmental parameters, where the dominant effect is due to the atmospheric pressure variation. A variation of about 10 mbar produces a HV eff difference of about 100V. In order to compensate this dependence automatic corrections to the applied HV have been applied during the data taking. The automatic pressure corrections were deactivated only for the HV scan runs. Contact: cms-dpg-conveners-rpc@cernNOSPAMPLEASE.ch |

*The plot represents the efficiency vs the local impact point on the RPC surface. The showed example is for one of the barrel RPC from the first layer in Wheel -1 (W-1_RB1in_S08_Backward) which was working with no problems during RUN1, but a gas leak problem appeared in beginning of the 2015 data taking (01.02.2015.).

Efficiency of 4th Endcap Stations. During the first long shutdown the CMS Muon system was upgraded with 144 newly installed RPC chambers in the 4th endcap stations.The overall efficiency distribution is obtained using the 2015 collision data at sqrt(s)=7 and B=3.8T. Details of efficiency calculation method can be found (J.Instrum.8(2013)P11002). The efficiency distribution shown on the plots is obtained after the new HV working points have been deployed on 08-10-2015. The improvement of about 0.7% is observed after the setting of the new WPs. Few chambers with low efficiency in the distribution correspond to known hardware problems. RE4 efficiency distribution average value is ~95%. Contact: cms-dpg-conveners-rpc@cernSPAMNOTNOSPAMPLEASE.ch |

Residuals for Barrel: Residuals for Barrel and Endcap: The plots show the residual distributions for the central set of RPC detectors. The residuals are defined as the difference of distance between the estimated and the actual hit position of a muon in the RPC detectors. A mean value compatible with 0 means that the expected and observed hit positions agree. A disagreement would imply a loss of efficiency at detecting muons. The RMS is interpreted as the resolution of our detector. The RMS of both barrel and endcap residuals are smaller than the strip width of the detectors. In the barrel, the inner most stations have strips of 2.3 cm width, and the outermost have strips of size 4.1 cm.

Cluster Size for Barrel: The cluster size is defined as the number of strips fired when a muon crosses a single RPC detector. This quantity was measured with Cosmic muons during 2015 and it was found to be around 1.7. This value is in agreement with previous measurements performed with 2012 Cosmic muons. This stability is important to keep an stable RPC trigger since an increase in the cluster size values will increase the probability to have fake RPC triggers.

HV50 distributions of Barrel: HHV50 is defined as the high voltage at which every roll reaches 50% of the plateau efficiency. Please take a look at DP2014-003 for a full explanation of the HV scan. These plots compare two HV Scans, one done with 2012 data taken at 3.8 tesla, and the other one done with 2015 data taken at 0 tesla. Since RPC efficiencies are independent of the magnetic field surrounding the chambers these results are comparable. The width and the peak of the distributions depend mostly on the construction specifications such as spacers sizes. The spacers are the supports that create the RPC gaps in the chambers. The distributions for 2012 and 2015 are very similar therefore no obvious ageing effect is observed. Contact: cms-dpg-conveners-rpc@cernSPAMNOTNOSPAMPLEASE.ch |

HV SCAN 2015, Effective voltage vs Efficiency for RE4 To find the optimal working point of every RPC roll HV scans are done (please look at DP2014-003). The results of the scans are fitted to a sigmoid for every RPC roll, from the fits a maximum efficiency can be identified. The Knee point is defined as the high voltage at which the efficiency is 95% of the maximum efficiency. The working point of every chamber is defined as the knee point plus 100 Volts for rolls in the central region of the detector, or 120 Volts for rolls in the forward regions. This is the voltage applied at nominal operation, however at operation it is corrected for changes in pressure.

Number of Single Event Effects (SEE) vs accumulated neutron fluence: This plot illustrates the cumulative number of events induced by neutrons as a function of the accumulated neutron fluence. The Front End Board was exposed to the neutron flux from the LENA reactor in Pavia with open inputs, so all the events detected should be due to the interaction of neutrons with the Si of the chip. The neutrons had an energy between 3.5 and 18 MeV with a flux of 2x105 n/cm2s. The black points are the events counted by the first RPC Front End Chip, the red points are the events counted the second chip. The error bars are computed as the square root of the number of events in each bin. The linearity shown in the plot is exploited for the calculation of the SEE cross section. The differences between the two chips are included in the systematic uncertainty of the SEE cross section. The signal discrimination threshold of the two chips was put at 220 mV, value of operation in CMS. Contact: cms-dpg-conveners-rpc@cernSPAMNOTNOSPAMPLEASE.ch |

Cross section vs Signal discrimination threshold: This plot illustrates the cross section of Single Event Effects induced by neutrons at different signal discrimination thresholds. The value are obtained from the slope of the linear fit in the plot of cumulative counts vs. fluence, that correspond to the ratio: 𝜎=(𝑁𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑓 #119890;𝑣𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑠)/𝐹𝑙𝑢𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑒. This is a mean value between the two chips considered in the previous plot. The flattening in the last four points is due to the fact that neutrons in the energy range considered deposit almost the same quantity of energy inside the silicon of the chip. Indeed the dominant process is the production of alpha particle through the reaction n(Si, a). In the first three points instead, the lower threshold, allows the detection of also events with a lower energy deposit, like inelastic scattering or production of protons. The red error bars are obtained just considering the statistical error, due to the uncertainty on the number of events and on the neutron flux. The blue bars are inclusive of both the statistical error and the systematics errors. The systematics error sources are the difference between the two chips analized and the two different way used for the calculation of the cross section.

Neutron interaction in a double gap RPC: When a neutron enters a double gap RPC, it can interact with the materials inside the detector, producing secondary particles which can reach the gas gaps and can give rise to a background signal. This histogram shows the frequency of processes that generate particles inside the gaps of an RPC, as a function of the energy of the incident neutron. Processes are named using the Geant4 convention. For a neutron energy in the range between 10 meV and 10 eV the incident neutron interacts either via neutron capture on hydrogen and other heavier nuclei, with the emission of gamma rays that in turn undergo compton scattering and pair production (“conv”), or via elastic scattering on hydrogen nuclei with the production of a recoil proton. The intermediate energy range is dominated by neutron elastic scattering on hydrogen nuclei. For neutron energy greater than a few MeV the dominant interaction processes are neutron induced nuclear reactions (“NeutronInelastic”), leading to the fragmentation of the target nucleus and the production of nuclear fragments. The neutron energy range considered for this simulation matches the one of the background photons in CMS cavern according to FOCUS simulations. The simulation was performed using GEANT4.9.6.p02 and the physics list FTFP_BERT_HP. Contact: cms-dpg-conveners-rpc@cernSPAMNOTNOSPAMPLEASE.ch |

Sensitivity of a double gap RPC chamber to neutrons, photons, electrons and positrons as a function of the incident particle energy . The sensitivity has been evaluated in the energy ranges of the background particles , according to energy spectra provided by CMS FOCUS v.1.0.0.0 simulations. In the simulations the incident particles were fired on the detector with angular distributions compatible with the ones expected in the RE1 region, according to FOCUS v1.0.0.0. Averaging these sensitivity curves over the RE1 energy spectra we get the mean values of background sensitivity: neutrons 0.26%+0.03, photons 1.6%+0.2%, charged particles 35%+16%. Such values were obtained for the following energy ranges: 1 meV – 1 GeV for neutrons, 0.01 MeV – 100 MeV for photons, 0.1 MeV – 100 MeV. The simulation was performed using GEANT4.9.6.p02 with physics list FTFP_BERT_HP. Contact: cms-dpg-conveners-rpc@cernSPAMNOTNOSPAMPLEASE.ch |

Barrel Efficiency: This plot shows the Barrel efficiency history during 2011 and 2012. The working point of every chamber is defined as the High Voltage (HV) applied during operation. To find the optimal working points per chamber, HV scans are done. The results are fitted to a sigmoid from which a Plateau efficiency(maximum efficiency of the chamber) and a Knee point (HV at which the efficiency is at 95 % of the plateau) are identified. From March 2011 until May 2011 the working points for all chambers were set to 9.3 kV. After doing our first HV scan the settings were changed, between May 2011 and June 2012 the working point was defined as Knee + 100 V. From June 2012 to August 2012 the working point was changed to knee + 60 V, this was done to study the impact of low Cluster Size (CLS) on RPC trigger, this led to lower efficiencies. From August 2012 on the working points were set back to the knee + 100V. However the efficiency history is not affected only by the HV settings but also by the pressure corrections applied on this settings. During 2011 and the beginning of 2012 the HV applied to every RPC detector was corrected to compensate for pressure changes in the CMS cavern. If a pressure difference induced a HV change of 40V, a correction was applied to compensate for this change. These corrections were not yet optimal and the final pressure corrections were reached at the end of 2012 when HV was corrected every 3V variation. An extra alpha factor was applied to account for the different response of every RPC chamber to the changes in pressure. The efficiency at the end of 2012 was kept lower than at 2011 to maintain a lower cluster size and therefore a slightly lower but more stable trigger rate.

Endcap Efficiency: This plot shows the Endcap efficiency history during 2011 and 2012. The working point of every chamber is defined as the High Voltage (HV) applied during operation. To find the optimal working points per chamber, HV scans are done. The results are fitted to a sigmoid from which a Plateau efficiency (maximum efficiency of the chamber) and a Knee point (HV at which the efficiency is at 95 % of the plateau) are identified. From March 2011 until May 2011 the working points for all chambers were set to 9.3 kV. After doing our first HV scan the settings were changed, between May 2011 and December 2011 the working point was defined as Knee + 150 V. From December 2011 to June 2012 the working point was changed to knee + 100 V, this change was not optimal. From June 2012 to August 2012 the working point was defined as Knee + 120 V. From August 2012 on the working points did not change but a new algorithm implemented to control RPCs that share the same HV channels was included. However the efficiency history is not affected only by the HV settings but also by the pressure corrections applied on this settings. During 2011 and the beginning of 2012 the HV applied to every RPC detector was corrected to compensate for pressure changes in the CMS cavern. If a pressure difference induced a HV change of 40V, a correction was applied to compensate for this change. These corrections were not yet optimal and the final pressure corrections were reached at the end of 2012 when HV was corrected every 3V variation. An extra alpha factor was applied to account for the different response of every RPC chamber to the changes in pressure. The efficiency at the end of 2012 was kept lower than at 2011 to maintain a lower cluster size and therefore a slightly lower but more stable trigger rate.

Mean Cluster Size Barrel: This plot shows the Cluster Size (CLS) history during 2011 and 2012. The working point of every chamber is defined as the High Voltage (HV) applied during operation.

The results are fitted to a sigmoid from which a Plateau efficiency(maximum efficiency of the chamber) and a Knee point (HV at which the efficiency is at 95 % of the plateau) are identified.

After doing our first HV scan the settings were changed, between May 2011 and June 2012 the working point was defined as Knee + 100 V. From June 2012 to August 2012 the working point was changed to knee + 60 V, this was done to study the impact of low CLS on RPC trigger, this led to lower efficiencies. From August 2012 on the working points were set back to the knee + 100V. However the CLS history is not affected only by the HV settings but also by the pressure corrections applied on this settings. During 2011 and the beginning of 2012 the HV applied to every RPC detector was corrected to compensate for pressure changes in the CMS cavern.

HV scan: The test is started by applying 1 kV to each gap to detect broken connections and electrical short circuits. Then the high voltage is raised by 1 kV every 10 minutes up to 8 kV. Then to 9 kV by 0.5 kV, at this voltage gas avalanches begin to develop. Finally the high voltage is raised to 10 kV in steps of 0.1 kV.

RPC Hit Timing The RPC hit timing is computed using hits spatially matched to pointing muons reconstructed offline. Only leading hits from RPC readout strips in a 6 bunch crossing wide window are accounted when making the plot. Correct bunch crossing is identified for 99.98% of the RPC hits matched to muons.

RPC Trigger Timing The L1 RPC PAttern Comparator Trigger (PACT) timing is computed asking for geometrical matching beween offline reconstructed muons of good quality (tight muons) with a pt > 10 GeV and RPC PACT triggers. The measurment is performed using events coming from an unbiased Dataset (MinimumBias). The RPC trigger signal is extended into two consecutive bunch crossings to allow triggering of "lately arriving" particles (HSCP).

RPC Trigger Efficiency Breakdown RPC acceptance, detector and trigger efficiencies, computed w.r.t. good quality (tight) offline muons with a pt larger than 10 GeV from an unbiased (MinimumBias) Dataset are shown. Contributions to overall efficiency coming from detector acceptance, detector efficiency and trigger logic are highlighted in blue, red and green respectively. When considering the detector efficiency contribution term, a minimum number of 3 hits geometrically arranged to potentially generate a L1 RPC trigger signal is requested.

RPC PAttern Comparator Trigger (PACT) Efficiency The plot shows RPC PACT turn-on curves computed w.r.t. good quality (tight) offline muons from an unbiased (MinimumBias) Dataset for different RPC PACT trigger Pt cuts. Events with offline reconstructed muons used to compute the measurement are required to satisfy the 3 RPC detector hit criteria described for the detector efficiency term of the plot above. The histogram, therefore, only shows the efficiency of the PACT algorithm, factorizing out acceptance and detector efficiencies.
