The limitation of the detection rate of standard bakelite resistive plate chambers (RPCs) used as muon detectors in the LHC experiments has prevented the use of such detectors in the high rate regions in both CMS and ATLAS detectors. One alternative to these detectors is RPCs made with low resistivity glass plates (1010Ωcm), a beam test at DESY has shown that such detectors can operate at few thousand Hz/cm2 with high efficiency (>90%).
