A large area Resistive Plate Chamber (RPC) with a total active surface of 160×10 cm2 was built and tested. The surface was segmented in two 5 cm wide strips readout on both ends with custom, very high frequency, front-end electronics. ; http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/B6TJM-44JHY5B-8/1/909cdae0fda12f2c09d271fc07f60f5b
Resistive Plate Chambers (RPC) made with glass and metal electrodes forming accurately spaced gas gaps of a few hundred micrometers have reached timing accuracies below 50 ps [sigma] with efficiencies above 99% for MIPs. This type of detector, operating at atmospheric pressure with non-flammable gases, seems well suited for large TOF systems, providing performances comparable to the scintillator-based TOF techn...
