DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Cayetano Soneira Landín (GFN - UCM)\nWide multigap 
 glass RPCs deployed in the miniTRASGO muon monitor\, developed at LIP [1] 
 provide a field reference for readout optimization. Continuous operation h
 as been used to validate mechanics and HV distribution\, grounding and shi
 elding\, environmental corrections\, and a lightweight trajectory reconstr
 uction chain. These lessons inform a timing-oriented architecture in which
  a single thin\, multigap chamber [2]\, equipped with narrow strips and si
 gnal merging/multiplexing\, dispenses with a separate thick-strip plane to
  reduce channel count and material [3]. Reference measurements with a doub
 le-stack system indicate operating regimes where single-plane efficiency c
 an degrade even while timing remains competitive\; planned high-voltage an
 d power-delivery scans\, together with complementary fast/slow shaping on 
 the thin strips\, are designed to isolate and mitigate these effects. The 
 target performance is hundreds-of-picoseconds time resolution with sub-mil
 limetre position from a simplified readout\, scalable from compact telesco
 pes to large-area Time-Of-Flight detectors. Emphasis is placed on detector
  engineering\, readout topology and reconstruction workflow.\n\n**Referenc
