X. Workshop on Resistive Plate Chambers and Related Detectors

Next generation of experiments like CBM at FAIR will be confronted with the selection of rare probes in high multiplicity environment at collision rates up to 107 events/sec. Hadron identification in such a limiting environment is a real challenge and requires intensive R&D activity for developing high resolution and high granularity timing detectors at affordable cost. Recently, significant achievements in developing symmetric, multi-gap, multi-strip RPC architecture for high counting rate experiments using low resistivity glass electrodes, differential read-out and high granularity structures, were obtained. Results based on radioactive sources and in-beam tests will be presented.
