Methods for the manufacture and test of multi-gap resistive plate chambers

The methods for the manufacture and test of multi-gap resistive plate chambers are described. Multi-gap resistive plate chamber (MRPC) will be used as time-of-flight detector for the STAR experiment at RHIC. The technique of manufacture described not only ensures the quality of MRPCs but also improves the efficiency of manufacture. The method for fast test of MRPC modules can also improve the efficiency of the test greatly.
