Abstract
RPC detectors were originally developed to exploit the very good intrinsic time resolution of the plane geometry and have been used as muon trigger in most of their high energy physics applications, disregarding the detector space resolution. Due to the high luminosity of future colliders, new experiments will be very demanding in terms of momentum selection of the muon spectrometer. For this reason, trigger detectors will be required to have a sub-millimeter space resolution as well as a sub-nanosecond time resolution. RPCs are good candidates for these applications, as it can be shown that they have excellent intrinsic space resolution, while the actual results depend mostly on the front-end electronics performance. Here we present a beam test carried out on a small size RPC. The results are consistent with a space resolution of ∼ 130 μm.
