Introduction MRPC MRPC (Multi-gap Resistive Plate Chamber) is a major new detector technology first developed by the ALICE experiment. The concept first published on Nucl. Instr.& Meth. A374 (1996) 132 by M.C.S.Williams et al. • Advantages: • Time resolution • High efficiency • Low cost • Arbitrary readout shape Good candidate for large area Time-Of-Flight system ! NanChang University
~3cm ~6cm MRPC—signal pickup STAR TOF ALICE TOF Long-strip readout: • save electronics channels. • Read out at two ends • Mean time Eliminate the position along the strip • Time difference Position information NanChang University
MTD Possible applications • STAR MTD (Muon telescope Detector) • CBM TOF Wall (outer part) NanChang University
LMRPC Prototype-I Size: 950 x 256 mm2 Readout strip: 25 mm wide, 4 mm gaps between strips Active area: 870 x 170 mm2 Gas gaps: 10 x 0.25 mm, in 2 stacks Glass: 0.7 mm HV electrode: ~200 kΩ/□ NanChang University
Cosmic ray test setup • Trigger area: 20 x 5 cm2 • Time reference (T0) • TOF MRPC was used to get 6 segments along the strip. • Gas: 95% Freon + 5% iso-butane • HV=±6.3 kV LMRPC NanChang University

Summary • Long (0.5 m, 0.9 m) readout-strip MRPCs were successfully constructed and tested. • Efficiency: > 97% • Time resolution: 60-70 ps • spatial resolution: less than 1 cm. • Cross talk: < 3% • LMRPC shows prospective application as TOF in low multiplicity environments. • Two LMRPCs (0.9m) have already been installed to STAR as part of the MTD detector and have successfully taken data since year 2007.
