Description
A 5-gaps timing RPC equipped with patterned electrodes coupled to both charge-sensitive and timing circuits yields a time accuracy of 80 ps along with a bidimensional position accuracy of 51 µm. These results were obtained over the full active area of 8x8 cm2 by calculating the straight-line fit residuals to the positions provided by a 3-layer telescope made out of identical detectors, detecting almost perpendicular cosmic-ray muons.
