| contents | In recent years, the Resistive Cylindrical Chamber (RCC) has been introduced as a novel gaseous detector, extending the well-established Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs) to the case of cylindrical electrode geometry. Preliminary experimental studies have highlighted several promis- ing features of this configuration, motivating the need for further systematic investigations of its operation. In contrast, from the simulation perspective, detailed studies of the RCC have not been performed yet, despite the fact that the cylindrical geometry introduces new degrees of freedom- such as cylinder electrodes radii and voltage polarity- which lead to asymmetric behaviour of the avalanche development according to the polarity of the applied voltage between the electrodes. In this work we present a standalone simulation program specifically designed to model avalanche growth and signal induction in both RPC and RCC geometries. The code implements a stepwise transport model for electron multiplication, includes approximate space-charge effects, and evalu- ates the induced signals on an external electrode. The simulation has been validated against experimental data for planar RPCs and subsequently applied to RCC geometries. The results demonstrate that key observables such as induced charge and efficiency for the planar geometry are well reproduced and highlights the role of electric-field asymmetry in the cylindrical configuration. These findings provide quantitative insights into the impact of detector geometry on avalanche dynamics. |
