The timing Resistive Plate Chambers (tRPCs) detectors are generally
characterized by a multi-gap structure with multiples floating high resistivity
glass electrodes. These features restrict their field of application to medium sized
areas experiments. In this presentation we show the performance of two
single thin-gap RPCs prototypes designed to work as an intermediate solution
between...
The resistive well (R-WELL) and the resistive plate well (RP-WELL) are resistive-protected gaseous detectors, capable of operation in a harsh accelerator environment in discharge-free mode. Among current room-temperature applications are digital hadron calorimetry and muon tomography. These detectors also present a potential solution for operation in cryogenic conditions, with adequate...
MRPC detectors, known for their excellent time resolution, are widely used in Time of Flight (TOF) systems for high-energy physics experiments. The CBM experiment requires detectors that can handle an intensity greater than 20 kHz/cm². MRPCs with low-resistance glass and pad spacers meet these requirements. Tsinghua University undertook the development and production of the CBM-TOF MRPC2. This...
The MARQ (Multi-Purpose Analyzer for Resonance and Quark dynamics Spectrometer) experiment, a future experiment in Japan, involves the construction of two types of Multigap Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs): Time-Of-Flight RPCs and tracking RPCs. The former will be utilized for π/K/p separation below 1.7 GeV/c, while the latter will serve for muon identification downstream. However, the...
The phase-out of Hydro-fluorocarbons, due to their high Global Warming Power, affecting the main gas used in Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs), tetrafluorethane C2H2F4, has increased pressure on existing systems and imposes strong restrictions on its use in new systems. A possible solution to the problem is the substitution of this gas by others with a much lower Global Warming...
GIF++ irradiation facility at CERN is a unique infrastructure for performance test and long term characterization of gaseous detectors under severe gamma background conditions. Also, a muon beam line is available to ensure precise detector studies. The gamma flux is originated by a 14 TBq 137 Cs source and can be modulated in a wide range by means of various absorption filters which can...
