  We have demonstrated that small gap (0.1 to 0.4 mm) RPCs made of low
resistivity materials (less than 1E8 Ohm.cm) can operate at counting rates of
up to 1E5 Hz/mm2 with position resolutions better than 50 micrometer. Results
of preliminary tests allow us to suggest a possible application of this new
type of RPC for tracking.
