  • Abstract
    Results from the test of a full sector of the front-end electronics developed for the Resistive Plate Chamber of HADES are presented. This new detector for the Time-of-Flight detection system contains 1116 electrically shielded RPC cells read by 2232 electronic channels, covering a total active area of nearly 8 m2. The front-end electronics consist of custom-made boards that allow achieving a time resolution better than 100 ps to fulfill the new HADES requirements.
