The Micro Slit Gas Detector
نویسنده
چکیده
We describe the first tests with a new proportional gas detector. Its geometry consists in slits opened in a copper metallized kapton foil with 30 μm anode strips suspended in these openings. In this way the multiplication process is similar to a standard MSGC. The fundamental difference is the absence of an insulating substrate around the anode. Also the material budget is significantly reduced, and the problems related to charging-up or polarization are removed. Ageing properties of this detector are under study. PACS: 2940, 2970

Position Sensing from Charge Dispersion in Micro-Pattern Gas Detectors with a Resistive Anode
Micro-pattern gas detectors, such as the Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) and the Micromegas need narrow high density anode readout elements to achieve good spatial resolution. A high-density anode readout would require an unmanageable number of electronics channels for certain potential micro-detector applications such as the Time Projection Chamber. We describe below a new technique to achieve g...

In gas detectors with UV absorbing gas mixture, the Self-Quenched Streamer (SQS) mode can be achieved following the proportional mode, which leads to appear the light column. In this study, the design, simulation and construction of three micro pattern gas-detector, THGEM, with different geometric dimensions are presented. Moreover, the ability of operation in SQS mode to determine incident ray...

متن کاملConstruction and Performance of a Micro-Pattern Stereo Detector with Two Gas Electron Multipliers
The construction of a micro-pattern gas detector of dimensions 40×10 cm is described. Two gas electron multiplier foils (GEM) provide the internal amplification stages. A twolayer readout structure was used, manufactured in the same technology as the GEM foils. The strips of each layer cross at an effective crossing angle of 6.7 degrees and have a 406μm pitch. The performance of the detector ha...
