Abstract
The selected device for the ALICE Time-of-Flight array is the Multigap Resistive Plate Chamber (MRPC). We have tested this device at the GammaIrradiationFacility at CERN to evaluate the rate dependence. We find that the rate capability of the MRPC easily exceeds the maximum expected rate at the ALICE experiment. In addition, we have measured the power dissipated for an equivalent flux of of through-going muons to be .File in questo prodotto:
