  1. IHEP possible participation in CBM TOF system Vladimir Ammosov Institute for High Energy Physics Protvino Moscow region, Russia V.Ammosov ITEP-Moscow, Russian CBM meeting

  2. CBM challenge for TOF Item value comment Time resolution ~50 ps for R&D ~80 ps for system Rate capability ~105 Hz/cm2 High granularity  4 cm2 and large scale ~ 100 m2 It is intended to use RPCs in the CBM TOF system. Currently there are no real TOF RPC systems with such time resolution and rate capability. IHEP group is interested to participate in R&D challenge and TOF system construction V.Ammosov ITEP-Moscow, Russian CBM meeting

  3. IHEP TOF group • We were/are busy with RPCs since 1993 • ATLAS muon system • HARP TOF system • R&D for hadron calorimer for LC Group comprises 4 hardware physicists 1 software phys. 2 engineers 2 technicians V.Ammosov ITEP-Moscow, Russian CBM meeting

  4. Possible solution – multigap RPC HARP example • - 2x(2x0.3 mm) chamber • - thin (0.6 mm) glass plates • - read out in the middle • gas mixture • TFE=C2H2F4/IB/SF6=80/5/5 • 8 ion.cl./mm • saturated avalanche mode • IB – quencher • SF6 – streamer suppressor • <Q> ~1 pC Reason for multigap t ~ 1/E t ~ 1/Ngap V.Ammosov ITEP-Moscow, Russian CBM meeting

  5. HARP R&D results t vs pad size HV plateau ~ 200 V t (ps) = 70+.26ps/cm2 x S for S t (ps) = 71+.13ps/cm2 x S for el sum V.Ammosov ITEP-Moscow, Russian CBM meeting

  6. HARP RPC TOF system Obtained eff ~ 98-99% OK Obtained t ~ 160-180 ps is worse than R&D 130 ps (~sqrt (2) ) V.Ammosov ITEP-Moscow, Russian CBM meeting

  7. Our current R&D vision 1 RPC TOF option Intend to continue searching for plastics, glass, enamels with proper resistivity to reach rate capability up to ~105 Hz/cm2 with required signal, efficiency and noise levels Joint work with INR, ITEP and Western groups within the INTAS-GSI project for CBM TOF system 2 Si PM as back up TOF forward option Intend to study possibility to reach 50 ps time resolution with scintillator+SiPM V.Ammosov ITEP-Moscow, Russian CBM meeting

  8. Possible participation in TOF construction • Up to now IHEP still has some infrastructure to • construct RPC detectors • test RPC detectors • We are interested to contribute to these items sizeably • Furthermore participation in design and construction of front-end electronics can be considered V.Ammosov ITEP-Moscow, Russian CBM meeting
