RPC with low-resistive phosphate glass electrodes as a candidate for the CBM TOF

Usage of electrodes made of glass with low bulk resistivity seems to be a promising way to adapt the Resistive Plate Chambers (RPC) to the high-rate environment of the upcoming CBM experiment. A pilot four-gap RPC sample with electrodes made of phosphate glass, which has bulk resistivity in the order of 10^10 Ohm cm, has been studied with MIP beam for TOF applications. The tests have yielded satisfactory results: the efficiency remains above 95% and the time resolution stays within 120 ps up to the particle rate of 18 kHz/cm2. The increase in rate from 2.25 to 18 kHz/cm2 leads to an increase of estimated "tails" fraction in the time spectrum from 1.5% to 4%.

Search for T Violation in KMU3 Decay

We propose a new experiment at the AGS to search for the T-violating polarization of the muon normal to the decay plane of the K+ to mu+ pi0 nu decay. Motivated by the need for a stronger CP violation source to account for the baryon asymmetry of the Universe, the experiment aims to search for T-violation beyond the Standard Model. The experiment will be performed with in-flight decays from an intense 2 GeV/c separated K+ beam at the AGS. We expect to analyze 10**9 events to obtain the sensitivity of delta Pt = +- 0.00013 at 1 sigma, corresponding to the sensitivity of +-0.0007 to Im(xi), an improvement by 40 over the present limit.
