摘要:The effects of surface roughness and subsequently the surface treatment have been studied numerically for Bakelite-RPC. The models used in the computation are based on the geometrical parameters of Bakelite-RPC prototypes built for INO experiment. The asperities have been modeled following the parameters extracted from the analysis of the measurements of surface roughness of Bakelite plates used in the prototypes. The induced charge on a readout strip has been calculated for the models with asperity on bare Bakelite and surface treated Bakelite. The results have indicated that the treatment of the Bakelite surface with silicone fluid has suppressed the generation of high charges
