Differential double stack MRPC with 2 x 4 gaps vs. Advantages - simpler construction - symmetric signal path - fewer glass plates (#9) - lower weight - impedance matching easy possible (100) Disadvantages - higher High Voltage (> 10 kV) - bigger cluster size Advantages - lower High Voltage (< 6 kV) - smaller cluster size Disadvantages - more complex construction - more glass plates (#10) - impedance matching hardly possible (100) Ingo Deppner RPC Gent

Single counter resolution is in the order of 45 ps including all electronic components. Resolution  62 ps Resolution  65 ps Ingo Deppner RPC Gent

22 Cluster multiplicity Dt distribution
Counter time resolution below 50 ps up to the highest an occupancy of about 50% 80 W 1 ns Ingo Deppner RPC Gent

23 Summary/Outlook Outlook Summary
TDR is approved. However no final decision regarding counter design is taken. The design of the differential single stack MRPC from Heidelberg is driven by the free- streaming readout  impedance matching is realized. The single stack MRPC shows slightly better efficiency and time resolution in comparison to a double stack MRPC. The double stack MRPC shows a smaller cluster size (about 1.6). Single counter resolution is in the order of 45 ps including all electronic contributions. However, in a free running mode an impedance matched MRPC might show a better performance due to minimized signal reflections. Outlook Load test for all available full size prototypes in Nov with heavy ions at SPS CERN Among them 3 full size modules M4 with counters MRPC3a and MRPC3b were tested Data analysis is still ongoing Selection of the final layout and counter configurations this year based on beam time results. Start of the low resistive glass production this year Ingo Deppner RPC Gent
