Performance of the prototype MRPC detector for STAR
نویسندگان
چکیده
A prototype 168-channel multi-gap resistive plate chamber (MRPC) time-of-flight system for the STAR experiment at RHIC was completed in February 2002, tested for 10 weeks at the AGS at BNL, and installed in the STAR detector for the 2002–2003 physics run. At the AGS, the MRPC detectors were operated on a number of different gas mixtures, high voltages, and threshold voltages. The results for detection efficiency, time resolution, streamer probability, and noise rates are presented. r 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

A single Time-of-Flight tray based on multigap resistive plate chambers for the STAR experiment at RHIC
The STAR experiment at RHIC plans to implement a 60 m Time-of-Flight (TOF) system. The Multigap Resistive Plate Chamber (MRPC) is a suitable candidate for the STAR TOF system due to its time resolution of order of 60 ps with efficiencies in excess of 97%. We obtained this result with modules composed of 6 gas gaps of 220 mm and pad area of 20 cm: In this paper, we report on the performance of t...
متن کاملPrototype developments for a high-resolution neutron detector at RB
A detector for momentum measurements of highenergy neutrons in the energy range 200 MeV to 1000 MeV is being developed for the RB experiment at FAIR. The detection principle is based on a combination of converter material and subsequent detection of charged particles from reactions in the converter material. Multigap Resistive-Plate Chambers (MRPC) are used for the detection of charged particle...
متن کاملProposed STAR Time of Flight Readout Electronics and DAQ
The Time-of-Flight system is a proposed addition to the STAR detector currently installed at RHIC. The proposal is based on a new technology called the Multi-gap Resistive Plate Chamber (MRPC), and consists of approximately 23,000 channels of detectors distributed over 120 trays. Each TOF tray consists of 192 detector channels and three different types of electronic circuit cards, called “TFEE”...
متن کاملHigh granularity, symmetric differential readout - timing multigap RPC
In this contribution we report the results of R&D activity concentrated on the development of a multigap RPC prototype with strip readout for high counting rate and high multiplicity environment as it is required by the low polarangle region of CBM-TOF detector. In order to cope with the strong counting rate requirements of the inner part of the CBM-TOF wall (∼ 2x10 part.·cm−2·s−1 ), we built f...
متن کاملNew development in timing RPC for the CBM-TOF
In 2005 a lot of efforts was invested in the R&D of high performance timing RPC by the different groups of the CBM-TOF Hadron-ID collaboration. Several new material samples have been studied, new prototypes have been built and tested with radioactive sources and beams. In addition new developments in fast electronics were carried out (ASIC-Design). Concerning the investigations on low resistivi...
