Figure 1:
The plot shows the spatial coincidence between eta and phi RPC pivot strips generating a High Pt trigger threshold in term of strip center coordinates. The data correspond to periods A, B, C, D, E, G, I, J, and L of the Muon_Physics stream of 2012 when detector and beam flags were green.

Figure 2:
The plot shows the spatial coincidence between eta and phi RPC pivot strips generating a High Pt trigger threshold. Along eta the continuous and the dotted lines are the boundaries between RPC units (equivalent to trigger towers but sector12 and 14 where the first station is split in two trigger towers ) and RPC readout panels (equivalent to trigger ROI but sector12 and 14 where the first station is split in two trigger towers ), respectively. Along phi the continuous and the dotted lines are the boundaries between RPC readout panels (equivalent to trigger ROI but sector12 and 14 where the first station is split in two trigger towers ). The strip phi number 0 and the last phi strip correspond to the center of sector 9. The data correspond to periods A, B, C, D, E, G, I, J, and L of the Muon_Physics stream of 2012 when detector and beam flags were green.

Figure 3:
The plot shows the distribution of the measured 2012 RPC gas volume efficiencies defined by the positive response of at least one of the two views and detector efficiency defined by the positive response of the single views. The efficiency is measured using standalone RPC track projection obtained removing the layer under test and using cluster hits matched with a muon combined track (dEta<0.1 and dPhi<0.1) . The data correspond to periods A, B, C, D, E, G, I, J, and L of the Muon_Physics stream of 2012 when detector and beam flags were green.

Figure 4:
The plot shows the distribution of 2012 RPC time in readout hits for both views. The RPC cluster hit time is defined as the minimum time of adjacent hits. Only cluster hits matched with a muon combined track (dEta<0.1 and dPhi<0.1) are considered. The signal propagation along the strip is subtracted but off-line time correction is not applied. The data correspond to periods A, B, C, D, E, G, I, J, and L of the Muon_Physics stream of 2012 when detector and beam flags were green.
