  1. 131. (Invited) Micromegas Detectors for the Muon Spectrometer Upgrade of the ATLAS Experiment
    Mauro Iodice (INFN - Sezione di Roma Tre)
    09/09/2014, 11:00
    Applications in Particle Physics and Astrophysics
    Invited Paper
    The Micromegas (MICRO MEsh GAseous Structure) chambers have been proven along the years to be reliable detectors with excellent space resolution and high rate capability. Large area Micromegas will be employed for the first time in high-energy physics for the Muon Spectrometer upgrade of the ATLAS experiment at CERN LHC. A total surface of about 150 m$^2$ of the forward regions of the Muon...

    Applications in Particle Physics and Astrophysics
    Oral Paper
    Position sensitive silicon detectors are largely employed in the tracking systems of High Energy Physics (HEP) experiments due to their outstanding performance. They are currently installed in the vertex and tracking part of the CMS experiment at LHC the world’s largest particle physics accelerator at Centre for European Nuclear Research (CERN), Geneva. An upgrade of LHC accelerator is...

  3. 55. Physics Studies for the CMS Muon System Upgrade with Triple-GEM detectors
    Mr Claudio Caputo (University and INFN, Bari (IT))
    09/09/2014, 12:00
    Applications in Particle Physics and Astrophysics
    Oral Paper
    The CMS collaboration considers upgrading the muon forward region with Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) chambers, which are able to handle the extreme particle rates expected in this region along with a high spatial resolution. This allows to combine tracking and triggering capabilities, resulting in a lower trigger threshold along with improved muon identification and the track reconstruction....

  4. 27. The XENON program: performances of the XENON100 detectors and development of the new detector XENON1T
    Dr Rino Persiani (Universityof Bologna & INFN-Bologna)
    09/09/2014, 12:20
    Applications in Particle Physics and Astrophysics
    Oral Paper
    The aim of the XENON program is to search for dark matter particles through their interaction in an ultra-pure medium. A favourite dark matter candidate are the so-called WIMPs, which can be detected via their elastic scattering off Xenon nuclei. The XENON dark matter program consists in operating and developing 3-D position-sensitive double-phase time projection chambers (TPCs)...

  5. 104. Large size hybrid GEM-Micromegas gaseous detectors for high particle flux at COMPASS
    Damien Neyret (CEA/IRFU,Centre d'etude de Saclay Gif-sur-Yvette (FR))
    09/09/2014, 12:40
    Gas-based detection methods
    Oral Paper
    Large size Micromegas gaseous detectors (40x40 cm² active area) are being developed in view of the forthcoming COMPASS experiment new physics programs which will use the CERN-SPS high intensity muon and hadron beams of a few hundred GeV scattered on thick fixed targets. The detectors have to be active also in the beam area, where intensities as high as a few hundred of kHz/mm² are expected,...
