Design, Development and characterization of 2m x 2m RPC Waheed Ahmad Dar Guide:- Prof. N.K.Mondal Supervisor:-Mr.Satyanaryana INTRODUCTION In modern terms, the detection of particle means much more than its localization in space. One has generally to measure its energy _momentum four vector and its quantum numbers. Further, one is interested to separate different types of particles in space and time. In order tom achieve this goal, a multitude of tasks has to be performed, viz. Localization of charged particle trajectories i.e. measurement of space coordinate and directions. Measurement of charge and momentum. This is achieved by determining the curvature of each trajectory and magnetic field. Determination of particle mass which is achieved by simultaneous measurement of momentum and energy or momentum and velocity. Determination of energy, direction and nature of a neutral particle. Each method of detection is generally based on the particle interaction with the detector medium which creates an observable signal. This interaction changes some quantities that characterize the detected particles. For example, the particle loses some of its energies, the particle may change its direction of momentum, or it may even change its identity during its detection process. Thus particle detection in general the measurement of several observables in distinct measuring processes. Keeping in view the above requirements for particle detection discussed above the detection methods are divided into two parts. Non-destructive methods, which allows multiple measurement to be performed without changing the identity of the detected particle. Destructive methods, which destroys the particles identity during its detection. It is obvious that all neutral particles have to be detected by destructive methods.
