    "abstract": "In this work we describe some recent results concerning the application of\nResistive Plate Chambers operated in avalanche mode at atmospheric pressure for\nhigh-resolution time-of-flight measurements. A combination of multiple,\nmechanically accurate, thin gas gaps and state-of-the-art electronics yielded\nan overall (detector plus electronics) timing accuracy better than 50 ps sigma\nwith a detection efficiency up to 99% for MIPs. Single gap chambers were also\ntested in order to clarify experimentally several aspects of the mode of\noperation of these detectors. These results open perspectives of affordable and\nreliable high granularity large area TOF detectors, with an efficiency and time\nresolution comparable to the existing scintillator-based TOF technology but\nwith a significantly, up to an order of magnitude, lower price per channel.",
