Abstract
The electric field inside a Resistive Plate Chamber (RPC) is likely to be influenced by the non-uniform inner surfaces of the RPC electrodes. We have studied the effect of this field perturbation on the performance of the RPC by a Monte Carlo method, which simulates the generation of signal from the detector. For the present study, we have analyzed the effect of the field variation on the time resolution and efficiency of a 0.3 mm single-gap timing RPC. Finally the results obtained from the Monte Carlo study are compared with an analytical calculation.
