Accurate timing of gamma rays with high-rate Resistive Plate Chambers

The counting rate capability of RPCs is strongly conditioned by the availability of suitable resistive materials for the electrodes. For time-of-flight measurements in heavy-ion high-energy physics, the extension of the counting rate capabilities achievable with glass electrodes, around 2 kHz/cm2, t...
