A new kind of Multi-gap Resistive Plate Chamber (MRPC) has been built for the large-area Muon Telescope Detector (MTD) for the STAR experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). These long read-out strip Multi-gap Resistive Plate Chambers (MRPCs) (LMRPCs) have an active area of 87.0×17.0cm2and ten 250μm-thick gas gaps arranged as a double stack. Each read-out strip is 2.5cm wide and 90cm long. The signals are read-out at both ends of each strip. Cosmic ray tests indicate a time resolution of ∼70ps and a detection efficiency of greater than 95%. Beam tests performed at T963 at Fermilab indicate a time resolution of 60–70ps and a spatial resolution of ∼1cm along the strip direction.
