DESCRIPTION:Speakers: SALVADOR GARCIA\, Juan Pablo (BUAP)\nA Resistive Pla
 te Chamber (RPC) is a type of ionizing particle detector that uses a gas m
 ixture as the active detection medium and is characterized by its fast tim
 e response. One of the key parameters defining its operating characteristi
 cs is the separation distance between the resistive plates that make up th
 e detector\, known as the GAP.\n\nBased on a methodological study\, two re
 sistive plate detectors were constructed\, each featuring two 0.3 mm gaps\
 , using low-cost materials.\n\nThe constructed detectors were characterize
 d to determine their main performance parameters: efficiency\, time resolu
 tion\, and charge. An experimental setup based on the coincidence of detec
 ted events was employed\, using two photomultiplier tubes coupled to plast
 ic scintillator bars as reference detectors. An ASIC readout electronics s
 ystem was adapted for data acquisition.\n\nFinally\, a statistical analysi
 s of the collected data was performed\, providing general estimates of the
  performance characteristics of the RPC detectors. Efficiencies from 70% t
 o 90% were obtained using tetrafluoroethane (C₂H₂F₄) as the operatin
 g gas.\n\nhttps://indico.nucleares.unam.mx/event/2675/session/3/contributi
