The field of particle physics is currently in unknown territory, facing the question of how to further explore the frontier represented by the standard model of particle physics. With several questions left unanswered and a plethora of models for physics beyond the standard model, a very broad program of exploration for new phenomena and particles, with masses ranging over several tens of...
In order to provide an excellent particle identification (PID) of charged hadrons at the future high-rate Compressed Baryonic Matter (CBM) experiment the CBM-TOF group has developed a concept of a 120 m$^2$ large Time-of-Flight (ToF) wall (about 90000 channels) with a system time resolution below 80 ps based on Multi-gap Resistive Plate Chambers (MRPC). Prior to its destined operation at the...
The Multi-Strip, Multi-Gap Resistive Plate Chambers (MSMGRPCs) developed to fulfill the high counting rate and granularity requirements of the low polar angle region of the CBM-TOF wall showed very good performances in time resolution (50 ps) and efficiency (>90%), up to 30 kHz/ cm$^2$ counting rate, exposed on the whole active area. Considering that CBM will run in the average 2 months/year...
The CALICE technological RPC-based SDHCAL prototype that fulfils all the requirements of compactness, hermeticity and power budget of the future lepton accelerator experiments, has been extensively tested and has provided excellent results in terms of the energy resolution and shower separation.
New phase of R&D to validate completely the SDHCAL option for the International Linear...
The RPC chambers are the only detector in the muon system of the CMS experiment that covers the barrel and the endcap. During the entire time of operation in CMS, they have demonstrated their robustness, exceeding the ten-year limit for which they were originally designed. Moreover, for the high luminosity LHC period, an upgrade of the electronic boards will be performed to exploit the full...
The COmpact DEtector for EXotics at LHCb (CODEX-b) is a particle physics detector dedicated to displaced decays of exotic long-lived particles (LLPs), compelling signatures of dark sectors Beyond the Standard Model, which arise in theories containing a hierarchy of scales and small parameters. The CODEX-b detector is a cube with 10m per side with two internal sections, planned to be installed...
