The Compressed Baryonic Matter (CBM) experiment will be one of the major scientific pillars of the future Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) in Darmstadt. Multi-gap Resistive Plate Chamber (MRPC) is adopted to construct the Time of Flight (ToF) Wall and a system time resolution of 80ps is necessary for hadron identification. MRPC3b as defined in the CBM ToF TDR has been designed...
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....
In this work we report on the construction and performance (efficiency) of a multi-gap resistive plate chamber (MRPC) consisting of a stack of 6 parallel thin glass plates (thickness of 400 $\mu$m). We followed the construction procedure of the chambers which were designed for the ALICE Time-Of-Flight detector [1]. Spacers (fishing line) between the resistive plates define a series of gas gaps...
