Semi-Conductive GRPC performance Threshold@130fC Rate : few Hz/cm2
Time resolution measurement: Single-gap RPC can achieve time resolution better than 1 ns. Much better time resolution can be obtained using multi-gap RPC Semi-conductive multi-gap GRPC can achieve both high rate capability and high time precision measurement.
