Archiving Quality Control Tests in the PHENIX Resistive Plate Chamber Assembly Facility

The PHENIX collaboration at RHIC studies polarized proton-proton collisions to better understand the spin structure of the proton. PHENIX is in the process of upgrading the muon trigger to improve our capabilities of selecting the muons from the decay of W-bosons which are produced more readily at a high transverse momentum than other muon sources. By triggering on single, high transverse momentum muons, new observations on the spin asymmetries of a proton can be obtained. The trigger upgrade will consist of four stations of Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs), with stations on each side of the interaction region. Each RPC consists of two Bakelite gas gaps, a copper signal plane, an aluminum case, and several layers of mylar and copper. With all of these parts comes the need to archive the manufacturing and quality assurance information along with test results performed on them. This information is kept in a Postgresql Database in the RPC factory and is maintained, modified, and read out through several PHP web pages. A new output page has been produced that will make all of this information much more accessible. This poster will focus on what data is archived, how it is stored, and how it can be easily retrieved and put to use.
