Ultra-fast timing detectors to probe exotic properties of nuclei using RIB facility

Recently, the facilities of radioactive ion beam (RIB) combined with advanced detector systems provide us unique opportunity to probe the exotic properties of the nuclei with unusual neutron-to-proton ratio. In this article, a study of characterization of different types of ultra-fast timing detectors: a special type of gas detector (multi-strip multi-gap resistive plate chamber, MMRPC) ($sigma$ $<$100 ps), scintillators array ( viz., $LaBr_3:Ce$) (timing resolution ($sigma<$250 ps) are being presented. A brief discussion on usage of these different types of ultra-fast timing detector systems at radioactive ion beam facilities is also included.
