Description
The introduction of timing Resistive Plate Chambers opened the way for very large area gaseous time-of-flight detectors. Such detectors have immediately found application in several Heavy Ion experiments and applications are being pursued in other fields, such as medical instrumentation. In this communication we will review the physical operating principles and the status of the technology.
