Description
The pursuit of the best possible time resolution remains one of the most
critical areas of ongoing research on Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs).
Achieving top-tier time resolution is vital for numerous applications,
ranging from high-energy physics experiments to medical imaging
technologies. Various technological solutions are being proposed, each
aiming to improve RPC performance, but their effectiveness must be
validated through experimentation.
Yet, in addition to technological progress, there are fundamental
statistical factors inherent in the signal formation process within RPCs
that impose theoretical limits on the time resolution that can be
achieved. These limits arise from the random nature of particle
interactions and signal generation in the chamber. A clear understanding
of these statistical constraints is essential for setting realistic
goals and guiding the development of new technologies.
This talk will focus on these statistical limitations, providing an
overview of how they affect RPC time resolution. We will examine the key
factors contributing to these limits, as well as explore potential
solutions and strategies to enhance time resolution within these
statistical boundaries.
