Caden Glenn (Purdue University (US))20/10/2026, 17:10RDC 6 Gaseous DetectorsPresentation
Low-mass tracking is a key requirement for future lepton-collider detectors, where material within the tracking volume contributes to multiple scattering and can limit momentum resolution. Gaseous drift chambers (DCHs) offer large tracking volumes with intrinsically low material budgets; however, conventional tungsten-based sense wires contribute to the overall DCH material budget....

Future circular e+e− colliders, such as the Future Circular e+e− Collider (FCC-ee) and the Circular Electron Positron Collider (CEPC), have been proposed as Higgs and Z factories in the international high energy physics community. In the ILD detector concept and comparable detector designs, a Time Projection Chamber (TPC) with high-precision (~100 μm) spatial resolution serves as the main...

Low pressure gas TPCs operating with negative ion drift (NID) provide numerous advantages required for low-energy rare searches requiring directionality. Near-thermal diffusion and slow drift velocities enable the excellent spatial resolution required to resolve low-energy particle tracks in 3D. The NID components most commonly studied are CS2 and SF6, which can be added to other target gases...

Gaseous detectors with highly segmented charge readout and single-electron detection efficiency near unity are of interest for low-energy rare-event detection. Traditionally, R&D has focused on nuclear recoils, while electron recoils in the 1-100 keV energy range are a dominant background for directional CEνNS and dark matter experiments.
Electron recoils, however, constitute part or all...

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...

Recent developments of MicroPattern Gaseous Detectors (MPGDs), associated readout systems and versatile simulation tools by CERN’s Gaseous Detector Development (GDD) team focus on pixellated readout, precise timing, readout technologies and material studies for next-generation gaseous detectors. We will report on the latest results in different research lines and the relevance for optimising...

Future circular e+e− colliders require tracking systems that combine a low material budget, high spatial resolution, mechanical stability, and particle identification capabilities. As part of the IDEA detector concept, the drift chamber is being developed as a large (4m long and 4m in diameter), ultra-light central tracker based on a large number of thin wires and composite structural...

High-pressure gaseous argon time projection chambers (HPgTPCs) are being explored for neutrino physics because they combine higher target density with the good tracking and low detection thresholds of gaseous detectors. This allows for detailed reconstruction of the neutrino interaction final state, while also giving access to low-energy processes and rare signatures that are relevant for...

The Measurement of a Lepton-Lepton Electroweak Reaction (MOLLER) experiment at Jefferson Lab will perform a precision measurement of the parity-violating asymmetry in polarized electron-electron (M{\o}ller) scattering, providing a sensitive determination of the weak charge of the electron and a probe of physics beyond the Standard Model. A tracking system based on large-area Gas Electron...

Dustin Edgeman (University of New Mexico)22/10/2026, 15:301RDC 6 Gaseous DetectorsPresentation
Optical time projection chambers (OTPCs) with gaseous electron multiplier (GEM) amplification are well suited for applications requiring fine spatial granularity for particle track reconstruction. OTPCs reconstruct tracks by measuring scintillation light produced in the electron avalanche, often assuming that the observed light faithfully reproduces the spatial distribution of charge emerging...
