Time of flight system (TOF) based on MRPC technology is widely used in modern physics experiments, and it also plays an important role in particle identification. With the increase of accelerator energy and luminosity, TOF system is required to indentify definite particles precisely under high rate environment. The MRPC technology TOF system can be defined as three generation. The first...
The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) is one of the two general purpose detectors built at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).In view of the High Luminosity LHC phase, the CMS detector requires upgrades to preserve the efficiency, resolution, and background rejection of the detector. To overcome the limited particle rate capabilities of the present RPC, a new electrode material, the low resistive...
The muon tomography system built with the 2-D readout high spatial resolution Multi-gap Resistive Plate Chamber (MRPC) detector is a project of Tsinghua University. In 2013 we have developed a prototype of muon tomography system named TUMUTY, and we now try to use more large sensitive scale position resolution MRPC to upgrade the system. The sensitive area is more than 1m2 and it has 864...
Abstract: In the near future, the CBM (Compressed Baryonic Matter) experiment constructed at FAIR (Facility for Anti-proton and Ion Research) at GSI, Darmstadt, Germany, will provide unique research opportunities to explore the phase diagram of nuclear matter. As one of the core detectors in the CBM experiment, the Time-of-Flight (TOF) system applies MRPC (Multi-gap Resistive Plate Chamber)...
A radiation hard detector with sub-nanosecond time resolution capable of working in high rate environment (order of MHz/cm 2 ) is under development.
Some gaseous detector prototypes made using planar Semi-conductive electrodes are being studied.
The prototypes have the same structure as an RPC detector but employ SI-GaAs electrodes with resistivity up to 10^8 Ω∙cm.
In this presentation some...
The India based Neutrino Observatory (INO) experiment is an approved mega science project to build a huge magnetized Iron Calorimeter (ICAL) detector with largest (~ 30,000) number of Resistive Plate Chamber (RPC) detectors. Cavern of this ICAL will be under the mountain having overburden of ~1.5 km. The ICAL primary motive is to understand the atmospheric neutrinos and related parameters....
For precise start time determination a Beam Fragmentation T0 Counter is under development for the Time-of-Flight Wall of the Compressed Baryonic Matter Spectrometer [1]. This detector will be located around the beam pipe, covering the front area of the Projectile Spectator Detector. The fluxes at this region are expected to exceed 10^5 cm-2s-1.
Ceramic RPCs [2] could be use because of their...
Recently LIP has introduced a new type of position sensitive thermal neutron detector (PSND) based on the combination of thin-gap RPCs (Resistive Plate Chambers) and solid-state neutron converters containing Boron-10. This detection technology offers a much lower cost per unit area compared to He-3 based detectors. The potential of this emergent detector technology is currently being evaluated...
We propose a unconventional calorimetry approach. The method is based on an idea that has been used for the first time in the energy determination of extensive air showers (EAS) at very high energy (> 100 TeV). It has some peculiar characteristics which that can be summarized in the following two points: a) measurement of the shower energy by means of a single sampling; b) measurement of the...
