Scientific paper

OPERA is one of the two detectors foreseen in the CNGS (CERN Neutrino to Gran Sasso) project, devoted to the detection of νμ ↔ ντ oscillations in the parameter region suggested by SuperKamiokande. The tracking system inside the iron yoke of the muon spectrometer makes use of Resistive Plate Chambers (RPC) with bakelite electrodes in a large scale application. We present here full design of the project. Four RPC planes were instrumented and the first tests were performed confirming a good behavior of the installed RPCs in terms of intrinsic noise and operating currents and efficiency. In the paper we present also some results on RPC aging studies.
