At the future Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) in Darmstadt, Germany, uniquely intensive beams of radioactive ions will become available. One of the experiments at FAIR, called Reactions with Relativistic Radioactive Beams (R3B), will study reactions of such projectiles at energies up to 1 GeV/A. The planned NeuLAND time-of-flight detector will detect the emitted neutrons with a time resolution of sigma = 50 ps and efficiency of better than 90 %. The poster will discuss recent progress in the development of multigap resistive plate chamber based prototypes for NeuLAND. Using the ELBE electron beam facility in Dresden, the time resolution of the prototypes has been shown to fulfill the design criteria.
