The largest gaseous time projection chamber (TPC) in the world, the ALICE TPC, has been upgraded with gas electron multiplier (GEM) readout for continuous operation. The new readout chambers consist of stacks of 4 GEM foils combining different hole pitch. In addition to a low ion backflow, other key requirements such as energy resolution and operational stability were met. New readout...
The High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) program will pose a great challenge for the different components CMS Muon Detector. Existing systems, which consist of Drift Tubes (DT), Resistive Plate Chambers (RPC) and Cathode Strip Chambers (CSC), will have to operate at 5 times larger instantaneous luminosity than designed for, and, consequently, will have to sustain about 10 times the original LHC...
Micromegas (Micro-MEsh GAseous Structures) detectors are a modern form of micro-pattern gaseous detectors. The primary charges are amplified by electron avalanches between a planar anode and a mesh 120$\,$µm above the anode. For resistive strip type Micromegas detectors the signal is read out via readout strips below the anode. A 2D particle position is reconstructed using two perpendicular...
The MEG experiment at the Paul Scherrer Institut (PSI) represents the state of the art in the search for the charged Lepton Flavour Violating $\mu^+ \rightarrow e^+ \gamma$ decay, setting the most stringent upper limit on the BR $(\mu^+ \rightarrow e^+ \gamma) \leq 4.2 \times 10^{-13}$ ($90\%$ C.L.). An upgrade of MEG, MEG II, was designed and it recently started the physics data taking,...
Fast neutron spectroscopic measurements are an invaluable tool for many scientific and industrial applications, in particular for Dark Matter (DM) searches. In underground DM experiments, neutron-induced background produced by cosmic ray muons and the cavern radioactivity, can mimic the expected DM signal. However, detection methods are complex and measurements remain elusive.
The widely...
The micro-RWELL is a single amplification stage resistive MPGD. The device is realized with a copper-clad polyimide foil micro-patterned with a well matrix coupled with a readout PCB through a Diamond-Like-Carbon (DLC) resistive film (10÷100 MOhm/square).
The detector is proposed for several applications in HEP that require fast and efficient triggering in harsh environment (LHCb...
The Compressed Baryonic Matter fixed target experiment at the SIS100-FAIR/Darmstadt future accelerating facility is dedicated to study the properties and dynamics of highly compressed baryonic matter, looking for rare probes accessed at unprecedented high interaction rates. Therefore, at the low polar angles, the CBM detectors will be exposed to challenging high counting rates and track...
In order to accurately establish leptonic CP-violation the T2K collaboration planned to upgrade both the neutrino beam line, by doubling its intensity and the ND280 Near Detector, for collecting neutrino interactions within full phase-space acceptance. The innovative concept of this neutrino detection system consists in combining a fine-grained fully active target (Super-Fine-Grained Detector)...
