A kind of multi-gap resistive plate chamber (MRPC) was developed for the STAR experiment at RHIC. The MRPC has excellent time resolution with high efficiency and can be used as the time-of-flight detector. In this paper, we present some performance of MRPC tested by cosmic ray, and performances of M

โฆ Synopsis
The methods for the manufacture and test of multi-gap resistive plate chambers are described. Multi-gap resistive plate chamber (MRPC) will be used as time-of-flight detector for the STAR experiment at RHIC. The technique of manufacture described not only ensures the quality of MRPCs but also improves the efficiency of manufacture. The method for fast test of MRPC modules can also improve the efficiency of the test greatly.

Using electrodes made of semi-conductive glass is an innovative way of improving the rate capability of resistive plate chambers. To address this issue, we developed 6-and 10-gap counters with low-resistive silicate glass electrodes (bulk resistivity $ 10 10 O cm) suited for time-of-flight (TOF) app
Resistive Plate Chambers operated in streamer mode have been chosen as trigger detectors for the forward dimuon spectrometer of the ALICE experiment. During tests performed at CERN PS, small size prototypes with low-resistivity bakelite electrodes and with a strongly quenched gas mixture have shown
