Simulation of Pickup Signal in a Resistive Plate Chamber
arXiv:physics/0703006
Abstract
The signal induced by an electron on a pickup strip has been calculated in a RPC used in INO calorimeter following Ramo's theorem. An accurate estimation of weighting field has been obtained using a nearly exact Boundary Element Method (neBEM) solver while the electron velocity from the real field values. The calculation has shown a growth and subsequent fall of pickup signal with duration about 90ps.
