Abstract

Resistive Plate WELL is a Thick-GEM based WELL detector that utilizes a resistive anode to quench substantially the energy released in discharges. We present a method developed to identify these low-energy discharges and use it to study their effect on the detector gas gain as a function of distance from the discharge location and time.
