Abstract

The ATLAS experiment at the LHC uses plastic laminates RPCs as first level trigger detectors in the barrel up to pseudorapidity |eta| < 1. A set of quality controls are performed on the RPC chambers before they are sent to CERN for integration and installation on the experiment. Three test stands were installed for this purpose in INFN Divisions of Lecce, Napoli and Roma Tor Vergata. The results of the BOL-type chambers tested in Rome are presented.
