Title: | Ceramic high-rate timing RPCs | Authors: | Lopes, L. Marques, R. Ferreira Fonte, P. Hennetier, L. Pereira, A. Correia, A. M. Sousa |
Keywords: | High-rate; Ceramic electrode | Issue Date: | 2006 | Citation: | Nuclear Physics B - Proceedings Supplements. 158:(2006) 66-70 | Abstract: | Following some previous work, we report here considerable improvements on the counting rate capability of timing RPCs by the use of ceramic electrodes with a resistivity of 109 [Omega][dot operator]cm. The X-ray sensitivity of the detector depends linearly on the counting rate with a slope of 9% per 100 kHz/cm2, free from charge depletion effects, while keeping a timing accuracy, measured with 511 keV synchronous photon pairs, around 90 ps [sigma] up to 75 kHz/cm2. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/4397 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.nuclphysbps.2006.07.017 | Rights: | openAccess |
