Description

The Multi-gap Resistive Plate Chamber (MRPC) is an advanced form of
Resistive Plate Chamber (RPC) detector where the gas gap is divided into
sub-gaps. MRPCs are known for their good time resolution and detection
efficiency for charged particles. The MRPCs that are being used nowadays are developed with glass electrodes. We have made an attempt to develop a 6-gap MRPC using bakelite electrodes. The outer electrodes are of dimensions 15 cm × 15 cm × 0.3 cm and the inner electrodes are of dimension 14 cm × 14 cm × 0.05 cm. The
glossy finished electrode surfaces have not been treated with any lubricants
like linseed oil, silicone oil for smoothness. The performance of the detector
has been studied measuring the efficiency, noise rate and time resolution with
cosmic rays. Details of the development procedure and performance studies
will be presented.
