Description

MRPC prototypes with readout on a multi-strip electrode were developed for the most demanding zone of the CBM-TOF wall, small polar angles region. The prototypes are based on low resistivity glass (~10^{10} Ohmcm). The granularity, given by the strip pitch size and strip length was chosen such to cope with the high values of the counting rates and multiplicities anticipated for the innermost zone of the CBM-TOF wall. Results of the in-beam test using secondary particles produced by a heavy ion beam incident on a lead target at SIS18 - GSI Darmstadt and SPS - CERN, focused on the performance of the prototype in conditions close to the ones expected for their operation in the CBM TOF wall at SIS100/FAIR, will be presented.
