Abstract :
We have demonstrated that small gap (0.1–0.4 mm) RPCs made of low-resistivity materials (ρ<108 Ω cm) can operate at counting rates of up to 105 Hz/mm2 with position resolutions better than 50 μm. Results of preliminary tests allow us to suggest a possible application of this new type of RPC for tracking.
