“…Only then it will be possible to guarantee the previously observed low ageing levels present in both classic and multi-gap timing RPCs operated in avalanche mode. At any rate, exploring new gas mixtures while pursuing a microscopic understanding and modeling of the gas-related ageing phenomena (along the promising lines in [42], for instance) will certainly require of a multi-disciplinary approach and several years of development, in a realistic scenario.…”

Resistive gaseous detectors can be broadly defined as a sub-type of gaseous detectors that are operated in conditions where virtually no field lines exist that connect any two metallic electrodes sitting at different potential. For most practical purposes, this condition can be operationally realized as 'no gas gap being delimited by two metallic electrodes' [1]. Since early 70's, Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs) are the most successful implementation of this idea, that leads to fully spark-protected gaseous detectors, with solid state -like reliability at working fields beyond 100kV/cm, yet enjoying the general characteristics of gaseous detectors in terms of flexibility, optimization and customization. We present a summary of the status of the field of resistive gaseous detectors as discussed in a dedicated closing session that took place during the XI Workshop for Resistive Plate Chambers and Related Detectors held in Frascati, and especially we review the perspectives and ambitions of the community towards the XII Workshop to be held in Beijing in year 2014.
