Summary
• We have successfully built and operated Glass RPCS in avalanche mode.
• A stack of 12 such RPCs being used continuously to monitor their performances using cosmic muons.
• Currents and noise rates are being monitored over long periods. No degradation after 2.5 years of operation.
• The setup will be used for further studies and as a test stand to test new frontend electronics & DAQ.
