Abstract	The Multigap RPCs (MRPC) [1, 2] are gas ionization detectors with multiple sub gaps, made of highly resistive electrodes (Glass in our case). The high voltage (HV) is applied to at the outer surfaces of outermost resistive plates only, while the interior plates are electrically floating. The presence of multiple gas gaps requires a higher voltage across them compared to the single gap structure. A charged particle passing through the gas gaps creates simultaneous avalanches in each of the individual gas gaps. The movement of ions and electrons in the gas gaps induce signals at the pickup electrodes. The fast signals in case of MRPC are produced by the flow of electrons towards the anode. Avalanches in any of the sub-gaps induce the signals on these electrodes and the resultant signal is a summation from all the gas gaps. Copper pickup strips placed outside the cathode and anode collect the signal, with a reduced time jitter, through induction.
