A four gap glass RPC time-of-flight array with 90 ps time resolution
In this work we describe the performance of a prototype developped in the context of the ALICE team-of-flight R&D system. The detector module consists of a 32-channel array of 3 x 3 cm2 glass-RPC cells, each of which has four accurately spaced gaps of 0.3. mm thickness arranged as a pair of doub...

| description | In this work we describe the performance of a prototype developped in the context of the ALICE team-of-flight R&D system. The detector module consists of a 32-channel array of 3 x 3 cm2 glass-RPC cells, each of which has four accurately spaced gaps of 0.3. mm thickness arranged as a pair of double-gap resistive plate chambers. Operated with a non-flammable gas mixture at atmospheric pressure, the system achieved a time resolution of 90 ps at 90% efficiency with good uniformity and moderate crosstalk. This result shows the feasibility of large-area, high resolution time-of-flight systems based on RPCs at affordable cost. |
