Abstract
The Resistive Plate Counters(RPC) have been provided for KL 0 and muon detection in the BELLE experiment at KEK. The glass RPCs have been extensively tested using single cosmic-ray muons. We report on the performance of the endcap RPC with emphasis on detection efficiency and multiple hits of readout strips
