Summary
With the increase of the LHC luminosity foreseen in the coming years many detectors currently used in the different LHC experiments will be dramatically impacted and some need to be replaced. The new ones should be capable not only to support the high particle rate but also to provide excellent timing to reduce the data ambiguity due to the expected high pileup. RPC using low-resistivity glass are proposed to equip the very forward region of the LHC experiments. In their single-gap version they can stand rates of few kHz/cm2. Their time precision of about 1ns could in principle allow to reduce the noise contribution, leading to an improvement of the trigger rate. In their multi-gap version they can do better in both the particle rate detection and the time precision measurement. Time precision of less 25 ps could be obtained. This aims at reducing the ambiguity the high expected pileup will introduce. In both cases new electronics equipped with excellent timing precision measurement are being developed to read out the RPC detectors. Tests are ongoing to validate the different scenarios.
