“…Then the position resolution of the MRPC can be easily obtained from the distribution of the reconstructed position. To evaluate the effectiveness of the simulation, the simulation results are compared to the X ray test [19] carried out in our lab last year. The layout of the test platform is shown in figure 9.…”

This paper presents a simulation method with ANSYS Maxwell suited to study threedimensional electrostatic weighting field in a Multi-gap Resistive Plate Chamber (MRPC). The variation of the three-dimensional weighting field with the change in the MRPC design parameters has been studied in detail, which will help us better understand the chamber response. Finally, we shall achieve more real simulation of the chamber signal by introducing the 3D weighting field results into our standalone simulation framework. Signals induced on strip electrodes and simulation results of time resolution and position resolution have been discussed and compared with experimental test.

“…Thanks to the encoding readout system, only 30 electronic readout channels were needed for more than 200 detector strips. The number of electronic channels decreases 7 times with respect to the direct readout configuration, with clear benefits on the complexity and the cost of the proposed system [21].…”

Muon tomography is an innovative high-Z material detection technology developed in recent years. The most crucial part of this technology is the high position resolution detectors used for the muon track reconstruction. Multi-Gap Resistive Plate Chambers (MRPCs in the following) are gaseous detectors first developed at CERN in middle 1990s. Considering their characteristics in terms of high efficiency, low cost, robust structure, and excellent position resolution, MRPC became the detector of choice for the TUMUTY (Tsinghua University cosmic ray muon tomography facility) system built in 2012. This paper features a summary about the latest developments on MRPC technology for muon tomography. After the success of the TUMUTY prototype, researches were carried out on larger sensitive area position resolution MRPCs with 2-D readout, and on environment-friendly sealed MRPCs (SMRPC) for industrial applications and future muon tomography systems. It was studied how encoding readout methods and external environment influence the performance of MRPC detectors. Also, an MRPC simulation frame and new data processing methods were both developed, which have provided useful information on optimal design of the future position resolution MRPCs and muon tracking systems.
