Abstract

For precise start time determination a Beam Fragmentation T0 Counter (BFTC) is under development for the Time-of-Flight Wall of the Compressed Baryonic Matter Spectrometer (CBM) at FAIR/Darmstadt. This detector will be located around the beam pipe, covering the front area of the Projectile Spectator Detector. The fluxes at this region are expected to exceed 10^5cm^{-2}s^{-1}. Ceramic RPCs could be use because of their high rate capabilities and radiation hardness of material. Efficiency >/=97%, time resolution </=90ps and rate capability >/=10^5cm^{-2}s^{-1} were confirmed during many tests with high beam fluxes of relativistic electrons. We confirm the stability of these characteristics with low resistive Si3N4/SiC floating electrodes for a prototype of eight small RPCs, where each of them contains six gas gaps. The active RPC size amounts 20x20 mm^2 produced on basis of Al3O2 and Si3N4/SiC ceramics. Recent test results obtained with relativistic electrons at the linear accelerator ELBE of the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf with new PADI-10 Front-end electronic will be presented.
