| Abstract | In May 2015, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, collided, for the first time, protons at the record-breaking center-of-mass energy of 13TeV. The LHC restarted after a two-year technical stop, know as Long Shutdown 1 (LS1), needed for servicing and consolidating the CERN accelerator complex. The Compact Muon Solenoid detector, a general-purpose detector at LHC, benefited from LS1 by performing crucial tasks necessary to operate the detector at higher energies. In particular, the Resistive Plate Chamber (RPC) system, one of the three muon detector technologies in CMS, was serviced, re-commissioned, and upgraded with 144 new chambers to enhance muon trigger efficiency. The CMS RPC collaborations has exploited early data samples at 13TeV for detector performance studies. These data allowed for a first characterization of the newly installed chambers. The results obtained are presented here. |
