Abstract
We present recent results on the efficiency and time resolution of an RPC operated with low gas gain under intense irradiation of photons an d neutrons. These results are compared with previous measurements obta ined using both high and low gain RPC, Results on the RPC sensitivity to photons and neutrons of energy around 1 MeV are also reported.
