A double gap Bakelite Resistive Plate Chamber (RPC) with common readout has been exposed to the radiation emitted from a ²⁵²Cf source to measure its neutron and ? sensitivity. RPC signals were triggered by fission events detected using BaF₂ scintillators. A GEANT 3.21 Monte Carlo code with MICAP interface estimated the ? and neutron contributions to the total number of collected RPC signals. A neutron sensitivity s_n = 0.46 × 10^-3 at ˜ 2 MeV and a ? sensitivity s_? = 12.6 × 10^-3 at ˜ 1.5 MeV have been measured for the double gap configuration.
