In the CBM (Compressed Baryonic Matter) experiment constructed at the Facility for Anti-proton and Ion Research (Fair) at GSI, Darmstadt, Germany, MRPC(Multi-gap Resistive Plate Chamber) is adopted to construct the large TOF (Time-of-Flight) system to achieve an unprecedented precision of hadron identification, benefiting from its good time resolution, relatively high efficiency and low...
Photoproduction experiments of hadrons using the γ ray from 1.5 to 2.9 GeV have been performed at the SPring-8/LEPS2 facility. We are now taking data with a large acceptance calorimeter (BGOegg) and a forward TOF array consisting of RPCs[1]. After the BGOegg experiment, we will start a new experiment using LEPS2 solenoid spectrometer. The detector system inside of the LEPS2 solenoid msagnet is...
The Compressed Baryonic Matter spectrometer (CBM) is a future fixed-target heavy-ion experiment located at the Facility for Anti-proton and Ion Research (FAIR) in Darmstadt, Germany. The key element in CBM providing hadron identification at incident beam energies between 2 and 35 AGeV will be a 120 m2 large Time-of-Flight (ToF) wall composed of Multi-gap Resistive Plate Chambers (MRPC) with a...
The INO-ICAL is a proposed neutrino physics experiment in which RPCs are used as active detecting medium. Construction of an Iron Calorimeter (ICAL) detector for studying Neutrinos, consisting of 50Kton of magnetized iron plates arranged in stacks with gaps in between RPCs would be inserted as active detectors, the total number of 2m × 2m RPCs being about 29000. But for 2m×2m normal glass with...
There are many sources of position dependent variation of the intrinsic gain of a single gap RPC, e.g., variation of thickness of glass, button and spacer, different composition of gas due to improper flow of gas, leakage etc. One of the dominant component of the time resolution of a large area single gap RPC is this position dependent gain. Also there is a variation of timing information as a...
Resistive plate chamber (RPC) detectors are known for their excellent timing and good spatial resolution, which make them favourable candidates for the tracking and triggering in many high energy physics experiments. The Iron Calorimeter (ICAL) detector at India-based Neutrino Observatory (INO) is one such experiment, which will use RPCs as an active detector element. The ICAL experiment is...
