Title: | High-resolution RPCs for large TOF systems | Authors: | Fonte, P. Marques, R. Ferreira Pinhão, J. Carolino, N. Policarpo, A. |
Keywords: | Gaseous detectors; Time resolution | Issue Date: | 2000 | Citation: | Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment. 449:1-2 (2000) 295-301 | Abstract: | Here, we report on a particular type of RPC that presents up to 99% efficiency for minimum ionizing particles and a very sharp time resolution, below 50 ps [sigma] in the most optimized conditions. Our 9 cm2 cells, made with glass and metal electrodes that form accurately spaced gaps of a few hundred micrometers, are operated at atmospheric pressure in non-flammable gases and can be economically produced in large quantities, opening perspectives for the construction of large area time-of-flight systems. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10316/4531 | DOI: | 10.1016/S0168-9002(99)01299-1 | Rights: | openAccess |
