  • Abstract
    To improve the rate capability of MRPC, we developed pad- and strip-readout multi-gap resistive plate chambers (MRPCs) with low-resistive silicate glass electrodes (with bulk resistivity of 1010 ¿cm quantity) and studied their performances. The tests were performed with 2.5 GeV proton beam at GSI. Time resolutions below 85 ps and efficiencies larger than 90% were obtained at counting rates up to 28 kHz/cm2.
