Abstract

The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment is a multipurpose detector, located at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. It is equipped with several subdetector systems to reconstruct high-energy collision particles. Resistive Plate Chambers (RPC), known for their fast response and good timing resolution, are used as one of the subdetectors for muon detection within the CMS Muon System. RPCs detect ionizing particles through gas avalanches between resistive plates, producing signals on readout strips. During 2024, the CMS experiment recorded over 112 fb$^{-1}$ of proton-proton collision data, bringing the total for Run 3 (2022–present) to more than 250 fb$^{-1}$. To secure good data quality throughout this period, the performance and stability of the RPC system are continuously monitored, and the latest results will be presented.
