  1. 66. GEM based detector for a future upgrades of the CMS forward muon system
    Stefano Colafranceschi (CERN)
    24/05/2012, 16:00
    S6 - Gas Detectors
    Oral
    In perspective of an upgrade of the CMS Experiment, the GEM for CMS collaboration is performing feasibility studies on employing Triple-GEM detectors for the high-eta region (1.6-2.4) of the CMS Endcap, which is currently not instrumented. A detailed review of the development and characterization of the CMS full-size prototypes baseline detector will be presented. GEMs have excellent spatial...

  2. 138. RD51 Collaboration - Micro Pattern Gas Detector Technologies and Applications
    Leszek Ropelewski (CERN)
    24/05/2012, 16:25
    S6 - Gas Detectors
    Oral
    Driven by the availability of modern photolithographic techniques, the RD51 collaboration is developing a variety of new Micro Pattern Gas Detectors (MPGD). Developments cover Gas Electron Multipliers (GEM) and Micromegas, thick-GEM, resistive GEM (RETGEM) and novel micro-pattern devices like GridPix. The aims of the collaboration are to facilitate the development of these advanced...

  3. 307. Poster Review - Gas Detectors
    Dr Maxim Titov (CEA Saclay)
    24/05/2012, 16:50
  4. 167. The NEXT experiment: A high pressure xenon gas TPC for neutrinoless double beta decay searches
    Mr David Lorca Galindo (IFIC (Instituto de Física Corpuscular))
    24/05/2012, 17:40
    S6 - Gas Detectors
    Oral
    Neutrinoless double beta decay is a hypothetical, very rare nuclear transition in which two neutrons undergo beta decay simultaneously and without the emission of neutrinos. The importance of this process goes beyond its intrinsic interest: an unambiguous observation would establish a Majorana nature for the neutrino and prove the violation of lepton number. NEXT is a proposed 100-kg...

  5. 234. GridPix - Production and Applications of Integrated Pixel Readouts
    Mr Thorsten Krautscheid (Department of Physics, University of Bonn)
    24/05/2012, 18:05
    S6 - Gas Detectors
    Oral
    Many experiments in particle physics employ Micropattern Gas Detectors (MPGDs) in combination with pads or stripes with a typical size of several square mm. With a pixelized readout structure the performance can be improved, as the size of the gas amplification stage is matched by the granularity of the readout. GridPix detectors are pixel chips with an integrated Micromegas structure,...

  6. 252. HARPO - A Gaseous TPC for High Angular Resolution Gamma-Ray Astronomy and Polarimetry from the MeV to the TeV
    Dr Denis Bernard (LLR Ecole Polytechnique)
    24/05/2012, 18:30
    S6 - Gas Detectors
    Oral
    We are developing a new concept of gamma-ray telescope above pair-creation threshold, with an angular resolution improved by one order of magnitude wrt Fermi / EGRET, polarisation sensitivity, and an effective area of several squared meters/ton. Improving the angular resolution is the key factor to lowering the sensitivity limit for point-like faint sources and fill the "sensitivity...

  7. 82. A TPC for the Linear Collider
    Paul Colas (CEA/Irfu Saclay)
    24/05/2012, 18:55
    S6 - Gas Detectors
    Oral
    A large TPC has been selected as one of two options for the main tracking at the Linear Collider. The LCTPC Collaboration has been conducting R&D in various directions for over 10 years. As a starting point, a Large Prototype consisting of a 72 cm diameter, 60 cm long field cage and an endplate with 7 windows capable of hosting 7 identical detection modules has been built and is operational...
