摘要：India-based Neutrino Observatory (INO) is planning to use ~30,000 Resistive Plate Chamber (RPC)detectors of size 2m x 2m. Each resistive plate chamber is made up of glass electrodes whose surface resistivity of theorder of 1012 ohm/square, along with two readout panels. A thin layer of conducting graphite paint coating is applied onthe outer surfaces of the electrodes in order to make electrode slight conducting. For the optimal performance of thedetector, the surface resistivity should be uniform throughout the surface area of the electrodes. Therefore, informationabout the uniformity and the surface resistivity value helps us in improving the quality of the detector performance. Wedeveloped an automatic scanning system (ASS) for the 2m x 2m electrode, which is first time developed in any Indianlaboratories. In this paper, we report the performance of the ASS in terms of efficiency and accuracy and future utilityof the system.
