Description
The Flexible, Ideal MPGD system (FIMS) is a collaborative effort to achieve single-electron detection with high efficiency at low gains. I will present a simulation study of how a low-noise ASIC, coupled to an integrated-grid amplification structure, can achieve single-electron efficiency greater than 95% with a gas gain less than 100. This work evaluates the geometric and electrostatic effects on the collection and detection of primary charges, and outlines the low-noise front-end electronics that enable operation at low gain. We compare how a minimal readout of pixel ID and time-of-arrival can achieve 3D event reconstruction that is competitive with conventional high-gain systems.
