Resistive Plate Chambers (RPC) made with glass and metal electrodes forming accurately spaced gas gaps of a few hundred micrometers have reached timing accuracies below 50ps σ with efficiencies above 99% for MIPs. This type of detector, operating at atmospheric pressure with non-flammable gases, seems well suited for large TOF systems, providing performances comparable to the scintillator-based TOF technology with significantly lower price per channel and being compatible with magnetic fields.In this work, we report recent developments of the timing RPC technology, including a large area counter (0.16m 2 ) and smaller, position-sensitive, single-gap counters. The latter devices are aimed to be applied in small and accurate TOF systems using a multilayer structure.The large counter has shown a timing resolution between 50 and 75ps σ over the whole active area, with 96% efficiency and very small timing tails, along with a longitudinal position-resolution of 1.2cm σ. The single-gap counters had a timing resolution of 55ps σ and a bi-dimensional position-resolution better than 3mm FWHM. It was calculated that a 4-layer configuration of such counters would yield a time resolution of 33ps σ essentially free from timing tails.
