Abstract：
A prototype of Resistive Plate Chamber with effective area of 490mm×490mm was built. The efficiency,output charge and time resolution were measured by cosmic muons when the detector was operated with F134a rich mixture in avalanche mode. The efficiency is higher than 95% with 2kV long efficiency plateau,the noise counting rate is less than 0.2 Hz/cm 2 and the time resolution reaches minimum when detector works in saturated avalanche mode. Relevant simulations and calculations were presented in this paper. The performances of RPC working in streamer mode were also tested.
