The school will focus on state-of-the-art gaseous detector technologies, including Micro-Pattern Gaseous Detectors (MPGDs), (Multi-)Resistive Plate Chambers ((M)RPCs), and wire-based detectors. The program features morning lectures by leading experts in the field, providing a comprehensive overview of gas detector physics, detector technologies, simulation and modelling, readout systems, manufacturing techniques, and applications. Afternoon sessions will be dedicated to hands-on exercises with various detector technologies, with a strong emphasis on experimental methods and practical implementation.
