Abstract

In this study, we investigate the performance of gas-tight Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs) by applying various filters to measure their efficiency. We examine the noise behavior of the detectors under higher voltage configurations and report the corresponding reduction in filtered efficiency. These RPCs have been employed to create a muon flux map within the laboratory, providing a rough estimate about the material distribution around the experimental area.
