Recent progress on RPCs for the ALICE TOF system

The heavy-ion experiment ALICE at the CERN/LHC includes a large surface (~160 m/sup 2/), highly segmented (>10/sup 5/ channels) time- of-flight system for particle identification in the 0.5-1.5 GeV/c range. Recent progress of the related R&D effort on multigap-RPC structures with several thin...

description The heavy-ion experiment ALICE at the CERN/LHC includes a large surface (~160 m/sup 2/), highly segmented (>10/sup 5/ channels) time- of-flight system for particle identification in the 0.5-1.5 GeV/c range. Recent progress of the related R&D effort on multigap-RPC structures with several thin (~250 mu m) gaps, operated with non- flammable gas mixtures at atmospheric pressure, is presented. The performance of multi-channel prototypes-below 90 ps resolution at more than 95% efficiency-is discussed. (10 refs).
