  ABSTRACT: The muon and neutral hadron detector of the BaBar experiment for the PEP-II Asymmetric B-factory at SLAC uses Resistive Plate Counters (RPCs) as active detectors. A large fraction of the total system, which consists of approximately 800 chambers for an overall surface of 2000 m2, has already been built and tested in cosmic rays. Preliminary results of the operating characteristics with a new non-flammable and environmentally safe gas mixture are reported.

  ABSTRACT: Resistive Plate Chambers have been chosen as active elements for the μ and Kl detector in the BaBar experiment. This subsystem, now under construction, represents the most extensive use to date of the RPC technology. The design considerations are presented, together with preliminary results on the operating characteristics.
