\subsection{Test results}
\label{sec:Test results}

An optimized gas mixture of C$_2$H$_2$F$_4$/iso-C$_{4}$H$_{10}$/SF$_{6}$ = 95/4.5/0.5 was flown through the RPCs with a total flow rate of 10
SCCM and operated in the avalanche mode. The schematic of the gas flow system for two RPCs is shown in figure~\ref{fig:5_Gas_flow_system}. The following characterization studies were conducted on the RPCs at $\sim$45\% relative humidity (RH) and 20 $^{\circ}$C temperature. These are the optimized ambient RH and temperature conditions for operating the INO-ICAL RPCs.

\subsubsection{Voltage-current characteristics}

The simple electrical equivalent circuit representation of a single gap RPC is shown in figure~\ref{fig:5_Equivalent_circuit_RPC}. …show more content…
From equation~\ref{eq:Electric_field_displacement}, it indicates that the RPCs made out of electrodes with larger relative permittivity (section~\ref{sec:Relative permittivity}) can be operated at lower bias voltages. The experimental arrangement and electronic circuit for measuring the efficiencies of RPCs is shown in figure
\ref{fig:5_Schematic_experimental_setup}. The oscilloscope trace of pulses produced from the RPCs and the telescope trigger pulse are shown in figure~\ref{fig:5_Oscilloscope_pulses}. The efficiency measurements on RPCs were performed using C.A.E.N Mod. V830 Scaler. The telescope trigger pulse was recorded as 3-fold pulse. The efficiency is defined as the ratio of the number of coincident pulses of RPC strip with that telescope trigger (i.e., 4-fold pulses) to the number of trigger pulses (3-fold pulses). This definition is written as:

\begin{equation}
{\text{Efficiency}} = {\frac{4\text{-}{\text{fold}} \ (4\text{F}) \ \text{rate}}{3\text{-}\text{fold} \ (3\text{F}) \ \text{rate}}} \times …show more content…
The measured efficiency of RPCs as a function of applied high voltage are shown in figure~\ref{fig:5_Efficiencies_of_RPCs}. The four
RPCs showed greater than 95\% efficiency on the plateau. It is observed that the knee of efficiency plateau of A-RPCs starts at 10.8 kV, whereas that of S-RPCs starts at 12.0 kV. Therefore, A-RPCs can be operated at 1.2 kV lower bias voltage in comparison to S-RPCs. These results are in consistent with equation~\ref{eq:Electric_field_displacement}.

Address each of these points in your own words (9 points). Why is it important to adjust the condenser when you are using a microscope? It is important to adjust the condenser when using a microscope in order to obtain a clear image of the specimen. The condenser focuses the microscope’s source of illumination and can be moved farther from or towards the stage in order to adjust the intensity of the light source. It is important that just the correct intensity of light be focused to have a clear…
