  • Abstract
    We have built and tested a very large Multigap Resistive Plate Chamber (MRPC). We discuss the suitability of the multigap RPC for the construction of large area modules. We give details of the construction technique and results from a scan across the surface of the chamber. We also report on the implementation of ‘half-strip resolution’, where we improve the spatial resolution by a factor 2 without increasing the number of read-out channels.
