Plenary Talk

The Multi-gap Resistive Plate Chambers (MRPCs) provide excellent timing as well as position resolutions at relatively lower cost. Therefore, they can be used in medical imaging applications such as PET where precise timing is a crucial parameter of measurement. We have designed and fabricated several six-gap glass MRPCs and extensively studied their performance. In this paper, we describe the...

Plenary Talk

Multi-gap resistive plate chamber are studied for range verification in particle therapy. Four- and six-gap glass RPCs were constructed with 0.45- and 1.1-mm-thick floating glass and tested with 662-keV gamma rays emitted from a 5-GBq Cs-137 source and high-energy photons induced by 44-MeV proton beams provided by the MC50 cyclotron at the Korea Institute of Radiological Accelerator Medical...
