Description
In light of recent developments in MPGD readout technology, we review foundational assumptions about MPGD amplification structure design in an attempt minimize ion backflow. Starting with Integrated grid as a baseline, we postulate various different aperture shape designs and compare them via Garfield++ simulations. We specifically highlight the competition between the ion backflow and the collection efficiency of each design and discuss the tradeoffs of each.
