Outline of Final Research Achievements

Resistive Plate Chamber with carbon sputtered electrodes has been developed for high timing resolution radiation detector. Most significant property of this detector is that there is only 100 micro meter gap between anode and cathode electrodes plane. This fine structure is realized by using same technology as used for MPGD development. As for the results of performance test of prototype, it is not succeeded to attain the pico-second level timing properties. It is due to low level of output signal and more improvement should be needed. In other hands, the detector design for this development can realize very low mass detector. In these days, new project for low mass detector based on the results of this research is ongoing.
