Abstract

The main goals of the Search for Hidden Particles (SHiP) experiment are to observe hidden particles and to run a high-statistics study of tau neutrino events. Two different types of resistive plate chambers (RPCs) will be used in the future SHiP experiment: one for triggers to select the decayed muons emitted via tau neutrino interactions and one for precision time measurements of charged particles, which are expected from the decays of hidden particles. In the present research, we constructed and tested a prototype RPC module to study the fundamental detector performance of the muon trigger RPCs in the tau neutrino detector of the SHiP experiment. The required detector characteristics, such as the intrinsic noise rate, the time response, and the spatial resolution, were proven through the test of the present prototype detector with cosmic muons.
