    A high resolution TPC with gas amplification based on micro pattern gas detectors is a promising candidate for the main tracker at the ILC detector. The physics goals and the expected enviroment at the ILC requires the development of a TPC with unprecedented performance. Extensive R&D work has started to meet these challenges. We studied the process of ion backdrift and...

  3. 116. Tracking cosmics: Recent results from a Micromegas-covered MediPix2 pixel CMOS readout circuit in a mini-TPC

    New Gas-based Tracking Detectors
    Contributed Talk
    Conventional readout systems for Time Projection Chambers (TPCs) based on wire chambers have certain limitations concerning counting rate and spatial resolution. We have built a new type of TPC which will not suffer from these limitations. Our mini-TPC consists of a MediPix chip, a Micromegas and an cathode plane. With the proper gas mixture and voltages it is possible to detect...

  4. 13. MAYA, a gaseous active target
    Mr Manuel Caamano Fresco (University of Santiago Compostela)

    Applications in Nuclear Physics
    Contributed Talk
    With the recent improvement in the field of exotic beam, especially with the SPIRAL facility at GANIL, a new area of the nuclear chart is now available for experimentation. Nevertheless the intensity of such beams is still relatively low (few thousands of particles per second), and for some reactions of interest the cross sections are low. Thus it is essential to be able to perform...

  5. 9. A gaseous imaging detector based on thick GEM-like (THGEM) multipliers
    Prof. Amos Breskin (The Weizmann Institue of Science)

    Novel Gas-based Detection Techniques
    Contributed Talk
    The thick GEM-like (THGEM) electrode is a rather new gas-avalanche electron multiplier, economically produced by standard printed circuit board (PCB) drilling and etching techniques. Its structure is similar to that of standard GEM, but its dimensions are expanded, with thickness varying from 0.4 to 3.2 mm and the mechanically- drilled hole diameter varying from 0.3 to 1mm. The Cu...
