Abstract
The Radiative Decay Counter (RDC) is a key ingredient in the MEG II experiment. The sensitivity of the \(\mu ^{+} \rightarrow e^{+}\gamma \) branching ratio will be improved by 16\(\%\) by identifying a photon from a radiative muon decay, which is the dominant background source of the search.
