  1. 135. Some Novel Gas-Based Techniques
    Dr Graham Smith (Brookhaven National Laboratory, USA)

    Novel Gas-based Detection Techniques
    Invited Talk
    A description of some basic properties of gas-based detectors that make them attractive for advanced applications will be made. Of those operating with gas gain, emphasis will be given to the gas electron multiplier, the pin detector, and the traditional wire chamber. The benefits of operating in ionization mode will be explored. Examples of these techniques in experiments employing...

    Novel Gas-based Detection Techniques
    Contributed Talk
    MicroHole and Strip Plate detector (MHSP) has an intrinsic capability for position detection. This new gaseous multiplier conceived as a combination of an MSGC and GEM in a single, double sided element, integrates two successive independent stages of charge amplification, a GEM-like hole-avalanche and an MSGC-like anode-strip avalanche. Like the GEM, the MHSP is fabricated with...

  3. 27. Photosensitive Gaseous Detectors for Cryogenic Temperatures Applications

    Novel Gas-based Detection Techniques
    Contributed Talk
    Noble liquids are excellent detecting medias: they have a rather high stopping power, allow electrons and ions to drift and they have an exceptionally high scintillation yield. All these properties are simultaneously exploited in the noble liquid Time Projecting Chambers (TPCs) which allow to visualize charge tracks, measure the deposited energy and the light to charge ratio [1]. One...

  4. 73. Bulk-Micromegas detector technology
    Mr Stephane Aune (DAPNIA, Centre d' Etudes de Saclay, Gif sur Yvette Cedex 91191, France)

    Novel Gas-based Detection Techniques
    Contributed Talk
    A new technique of fabrication of Micromegas (MM) using the PCB technologies has been developed. A standard commercial wire mesh (19 m) was employed as cathode element and the amplification gap was defined by using spacers (pillars) made out of a 100 m thick Solder Mask (SM). After a three steps process, lamination, insulation and development, the detector core is obtained as a...

  5. 104. Status of TACTIC: a detector for nuclear astrophysics
    Dr Alison Laird (University of York)
    16/09/2005, 12:15
    Novel Gas-based Detection Techniques
    Contributed Talk
    A new detector for nuclear astrophysics studies is being designed and built by TRIUMF and the University of York. TACTIC, the TRIUMF Annular Chamber for Tracking and Identification of Charged particles, is designed to detect low energy charged particles from reaction studies performed at the relevant astrophysical energies, in inverse kinematics. TACTIC is a cylindrical ionisation...
