Abstract
We present the current status of the multigap resistive plate chamber. Our device has resistive plates made of melamine and is operated in avalanche mode with argon-based gases with a small percentage of quencher (CO2, isobutane, etc). It has excellent time resolution (σ = 1.5−2 ns) and rate capability (>98% efficiency at 1 kHzcm2); in addition, it has a long efficiency plateau and low dark current.
