Description
We present the results of the simulation of a multi-gap RPC system, with electrodes suited to increase the RPC efficiency to detect sub-MeV photons. The use of new materials, as well as the layout optimization, provide improved sensitivity while preserving the robustness and the cheapness of the RPC approach. Details on the conversion probability, the opacity of the electrode and the overall detection efficiency will be given in this contribution. Preliminary yet promising results on the single photon angular resolution will be provided. PET-related applications will be also discussed.
