High-resolution timing of MIPs with RPCs } a model
نویسنده
چکیده
Resistive Plate Chambers made with glass and metal electrodes forming accurately spaced gas gaps of a few hundred micrometers have reached timing accuracies below 50ps p with e$ciencies above 95%. This type of detector, operating at atmospheric pressure with non-#ammable gases, seems well suited for large-area TOF systems, providing performances comparable to the existing scintillator-based TOF technology but with signi"cantly lower price per channel. In this work we discuss the principles of operation and describe the performance of several chamber con"gurations. ( 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Performances of multi - gap timing RPCs for relativistic ions in the range Z = 1 - 6
We present the performance of Multi-gap timing RPCs under irradiation by fully stripped relativistic ions (γβ =2.7, Z=1-6). A time resolution of 80 ps at high efficiency has been obtained by just using standard 'off the shelf' 4-gap timing RPCs from the new HADES ToF wall. The resolution worsened to 100 ps for ∼ 1 kHz/cm 2 proton flux and for ∼ 100 Hz/cm 2 Carbon flux. The chambers were operate...
متن کاملSingle-gap timing RPCs with bidimensional position-sensitive readout for very accurate TOF systems
In this work, we report the development and performance of single-gap timing RPCs equipped with a 3mm FWHM resolution bidimensional position-sensitive readout and reaching a timing resolution of 55 ps s at an efficiency of 75% for MIPs. These chambers are aimed to be applied in a multilayer geometry, forming small and very accurate TOF systems. The avalanche localization capability would provid...
متن کاملHigh-resolution TOF with RPCs
In this work, we describe some recent results concerning the application of Resistive Plate Chambers operated in avalanche mode at atmospheric pressure for high-resolution time-of-flight measurements. A combination of multiple, mechanically accurate, thin gas gaps and state-of-the-art electronics yielded an overall (detector plus electronics) timing accuracy better than 50 ps s with a detection...
متن کاملOptimization of RFM's Structure Using a New Reformulation of PSO in Case of Limited GCPs
Metaheuristic algorithms have been widely used in determining the optimum rational polynomial coefficients (RPCs). By eliminating a number of unnecessary RPCs, these algorithms increase the accuracy of geometric correction of high-resolution satellite images. To this end, these algorithms use ordinary least squares and a number of ground control points (GCPs) to determine RPCs' values. Due to t...
متن کاملA Large-Area Timing RPC
A large-area Resistive Plate Chamber (RPC) with a total active surface of 160×10 cm was built and tested. The surface was segmented into two 5-cm wide strips readout on both ends with customized, very high speed, front-end electronics. A timing resolution σ = 50-75 ps, with an efficiency for Minimum Ionizing Particles (MIPs) larger than 95%, was attained over the whole active area, in addition ...
