  • Abstract
    Narrow-gap Resistive Plate Chambers (tRPCs) present excellent performances for timing with minimum ionization particles, but their performance with relativistic ions is almost unknown. We have developed small-size RPC prototypes that have been tested with electron and ion beams. The time resolution measured in both cases are below 70 ps σ, close to the challenging requirements for the R3B experiment Time-of-flight Wall at future FAIR facility.
