A new Micromegas manufacturing technique, based on kapton etching technology, has been developed recently, resulting in further improvement of the characteristics detector, such as uniformity and stability. Excellent energy resolution obtained, reaching 11% FWHM for 5.9 keV photon peak the55Fe X-ray source 1.8% (with possible evidence less than 1%) 5.5 MeV alpha 241Am source. The Microbulk detector shows several advantages like flexible structure, low material high radio-purity, opening thus...
In this work we present a novel idea for compact spark-protected single amplification stage Micro-Pattern Gas Detector (MPGD). The detector stage, realized with structure very similar to GEM foil, is embedded through resistive layer in the readout board. A cathode electrode, defining gas conversion/drift gap, completes mechanics. new structure, that call micro-Resistive WELL (μ-RWELL), has some characteristics common previous MPGDs, such as C.A.T. and WELL, developed more than ten years ago....
In this document, we present the Technical Design Report of Upgrade T2K Near Detector ND280. The goal upgrade is to improve performance measure neutrino interaction rate and constrain cross-sections so that uncertainty in number predicted events at Super-Kamiokande reduced about 4%. This will allow physics reach T2K-II project. achieved by modifying upstream part detector, adding a new highly granular scintillator detector (Super-FGD), two TPCs (High-Angle TPC) six TOF planes.

A low-background Micromegas detector has been operating in the CAST experiment at CERN for search solar axions during first phase of (2002–2004). The detector, made out low radioactivity materials, operated efficiently and achieved a very high level background rejection (5 × 10−5 counts keV−1 cm−2 s−1) without shielding.
The $\mu$-RWELL is a single-amplification stage resistive Micro-Pattern Gaseous Detector (MPGD). detector amplification element realized with single copper-clad polyimide foil micro-patterned blind hole (well) matrix and embedded in the readout PCB through thin Diamond-Like-Carbon (DLC) sputtered film. introduction of layer, suppressing transition from streamer to spark, allows achieve large gains ($\geq$10$^4$) stage, while partially reducing capability stand high particle fluxes. simplest...
In 2008, a triple GEM detector prototype with an area of ∼ 2000 cm2 has been constructed, based on foils 66 × cm. GEMs such dimensions had not made before, and innovations to the existing technology were introduced build this detector. This paper discusses these presents further work large development. A single-mask technique overcomes cumbersome practice alignment two masks, which limits achievable lateral size. The holes obtained are conical, have so-called rim, small insulating clearance...
The idea of implementing electroluminescence-based amplification through transparent multi-hole structures (FAT-GEMs) has been entertained for some time. Arguably, such a technology to be attractive it should perform at least level comparable conventional alternatives based on wires or meshes. We present now detailed calorimetric study carried out 5.9 keV X-rays in xenon, pressures ranging from 2 10 bar, resorting different geometries, production and post-processing techniques. At reference...
Abstract In recent years, resistive Micromegas detectors have undergone an intense R&D phase to ensure their technological advancements for safe operation under diverse experimental conditions. Both low and high-rate versions matured be employed in upgrades of current detectors, large apparatuses at future colliders, applications beyond high-energy physics. Thus far, the advancement development been primarily conducted CERN. The state-of-the-art technology includes structures based on...
Silicon detectors for the Roman Pots of large hadron collider TOTEM experiment aim full sensitivity at edge where a terminating structure is required electrical stability.
