A Two-Stage, High Gain Micro-strip Detector
نویسندگان
چکیده
A two stage position-sensitive gas proportional counter has been constructed by tightly coupling a Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) with a Micro-Groove Detector (MGD). The GEM was used as the first amplifying stage and was optimised to transmit close to 100 % of the primary charge even at very high drift fields (10 kV/cm). Very narrow GEM– MGD separations (0–600 m) were used so that the active volume of the detector is still very thin (3–3.6 mm) and the required drift field could be maintained using an acceptable drift voltage (around 4000 V). Very high combined gains (up to 3 10) were obtained with this system. The detector was found to be spark-free in the presence of HIPs (alpha particles) up to gains in excess of 20,000.

متن کاملEffects of Outgassing from Some Materials on Gas Chamber Ageing
Several different materials that might be used for assembling Micro-strip gas chambers (MSGCs) for high luminosity experiments were tested by measuring the gain of an irradiated wire counter when each sample was put into contact with the gas upstream of the detector. The results show a fast effect on the gain of the counter for some of the materials tested, whereas others, like Stesalit, Vectra...
متن کاملThe Photon-Assisted Cascaded Electron Multiplier: a Concept for Potential Avalanche-Ion Blocking
We present a Photon-Assisted Cascaded Electron Multipliers (PACEM) which has a potential for ion back-flow blocking in gaseous radiation detectors: the avalanche from a first multiplication stage propagates to the successive one via its photons, which in turn induce photoelectron emission from a photocathode deposited on the second multiplier stage; the multiplication process may further contin...
متن کاملBandwidth Enhancement of Metamaterial loaded Microstrip Antenna using Double Layered Substrate
Communication has become a key aspect of our daily life, becoming increasingly portable and mobile. This would need the use of micro strip antennas. The rapid growth has led to the need of antennas with smaller size, increased bandwidth and high gain. In this paper, a new version of micro strip patch antenna is designed by adopting double layered substrate concept and adding a layer of metamate...
