Summary: | In order to test the performance of detector prototypes in a laboratory environment, we design and build a large area (90 crux52 cm) test platform for cosmic rays based on a well-designed Multi-gap Resistive Plate Chamber (MRPC) with excellent time resolution and a high detection efficiency for minimum ionizing particles. The time resolution of the MRPC module used is tested to be -80 ps, and the position resolution along the strip is -5 mm, while the position resolution perpendicular to the strip is -12.7 ram. The platform constructed by four MRPC modules can be used for tracking cosmic rays with a spatial resolution of -6.3 mm, and provide a reference time -40 ps. |
