  4H-Silicon Carbide, when considered as a material for the fabrication of Low
Gain Avalanche Detectors for particle timing and position measurement, offers
potential advantages over Silicon. We discuss an ongoing study of this material
aimed at the fabrication and test of prototype fast timing sensors. This work
is well aligned with technical directions identified in the recent Department
of Energy study, Basic Research Needs for High Energy Physics Detector Research
and Development.
