    "abstract": "We present recent results of an extensive aging test, performed at the CERN\nGamma Irradiation Facility on two single--gap RPC prototypes, developed for the\nLHCb Muon System. With a method based on a model describing the behaviour of an\nRPC under high particle flux conditions, we have periodically measured the\nelectrode resistance R of the two RPC prototypes over three years: we observe a\nlarge spontaneous increase of R with time, from the initial value of about 2\nMOhm to more than 250 MOhm. A corresponding degradation of the RPC rate\ncapabilities, from more than 3 kHz/cm2 to less than 0.15 kHz/cm2 is also found.",
