Keywords: | Gaseous detectors; Time resolution | Issue Date: | 2002 | Citation: | Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment. 478:1-2 (2002) 170-175 | Abstract: | 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 technology with significantly lower price per channel and being compatible with magnetic fields. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/4499 | DOI: | 10.1016/S0168-9002(01)01749-1 | Rights: | openAccess |
