Description

The Multigap Resistive Plate Chamber (MRPC) is now the timing device of choice especially when
large area coverage is required. In this presentation I will cover the factors that are important to
generate excellent timing. Related to this is the growth of the avalanche within the gas gap:
measurements of the total charge observed in the MRPC will be presented. Front-end electronics
plays an important role for optimal timing and various techniques currently in use will be
considered
