电阻板室（RPC）广泛用于高能物理中的跟踪和触发目的。它们具有良好的时间分辨率，并具有精细的分段读出功能，还可以提供优于1 mm的空间分辨率。RPC可以大规模经济高效地生产，结构坚固，对带电粒子具有出色的检测效率。本课题组已成功研制了μ子散射层析成像（MST）样机，利用12台RPC获得了μ子在50 cm × 50 cm × 70 cm靶体积内的跟踪信息，重建了μ子的入射和出射轨迹。我们描述了一个读出系统的细间距RPC使用MAROC3读出芯片能够扩展到一个大的系统。
Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs) are widely used in high energy physics for both tracking and triggering purposes. They have good time resolution and with finely segmented readout can also give a spatial resolution of better than 1 mm. RPCs can be produced cost-effectively on large scales, are of rugged build, and have excellent detection efficiency for charged particles. Our group has successfully built a Muon Scattering Tomography (MST) prototype, using 12 RPCs to obtain tracking information of muons going through a target volume of ∼ 50 cm × 50 cm × 70 cm, reconstructing both the incoming and outgoing muon tracks. We describe a readout system for fine-pitch RPCs using MAROC3 readout chips capable of scaling to a large system.
