Our
Mission Description:
This R&D project was approved as
BNL LDRD (Lab Director R&D) project and will focus on studying the
capability of muon identification based on timing resolution from the MRPC
detector with large module, long strips and fast electronics for online
trigger.
We propose to build a prototype MTD with three layers: MRPC TOF +
GEM+ Scintillator trays. This will be tested outside the
STAR magnet using
the return iron yokes as hadron absorber (5 interaction length).
It will
have excellent timing resolution (<100ps), good spatial points for
tracking(<cm) and some dE/dx capability to evaluate the MRPC performance as
a compact Muon detector.
