10 Ingo DeppnerDPG-Frühjahrstagung, Mainz, 19 - 23.03.2012 10 Summary  At the Physikalisches Institut of Heidelberg University we developed a MMRPC prototype for the low rate region (below 1 kHz/cm 2 ) for CBM  This prototype was successfully tested with pions at SIS18 at GSI / Darmstadt and with protons at the COSY accelerator in Jülich  Based on these in-beam tests we can show that an efficiency above 95% was reached for preamplifier thresholds below 30 mV  Results obtained from the electronics mounted directly on the RPC indicate a higher stability in terms of noise and signal reflections  Warming up the RPC environment by 15 °C seems to be enough in order to fulfill the CBM - TOF requirement of the outer region  The mean cluster size for this prototype is in the order of 1.3 and growing with temperature  Time resolution is in the order of 50 ps Next steps  Further beam tests under full surface illumination condition  Building a full size demonstrator
