Abstract
Resistive Plate Chamber (RPC) is a type of gaseous detector having excellent time and position resolutions. VECC is involved in the R&D of indigenously developed bakelite RPCs. The largest size of bakelite RPC developed in India is \(100\,{\text {cm}} \times 100\,{\text {cm}}\). We present here the test results of a bakelite sample along with the cosmic ray test results of a bakelite RPC (\(30\,{\text {cm}} \times 30\,{\text {cm}} \times 0.2\,{\text {cm}}\)) fabricated at VECC. The steps taken towards the development of a large size (\(240\,{\text {cm}} \times 120\,{\text {cm}} \times 0.2\,{\text {cm}}\)) bakelite RPC have also been discussed.
