Title: The mass production and quality control of RPCs for the Daya Bay Experiment

Journal Article · · Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research, Section A
OSTI ID:1049224

Resistive plate chambers will be used in the Daya Bay reactor neutrino experiment to help veto backgrounds created by cosmic-ray muons. The mass production of RPCs began in 2008 and by the end of 2009, 1600 RPCs (3500 m{sup 2}) had been produced and tested. This paper describes the production and quality control procedures, and quality assurance using cosmic-ray testing.
