Abstract

Tests carried out both at the SPS and Gamma Irradiation Facility (GIF) indicate that rate capabilities of the order of several hundreds of Hz/cm² can be achieved by resistive plate chambers (RPC) with electrode resistivity of the order of few times 10⁹ Ω cm operated in the streamer mode. The cluster size and the single rate of the detector are similar to those observed for RPCs of higher resistivities. The time resolution is adequate to fulfil the ALICE trigger requirements, as it can be seen by the high fraction of events included in a 20 ns time gate.
