For the LHC High Luminosity phase (HL-LHC) the CMS GEM Collaboration is planning to install new large size (990 x 440-220 mm2) triple-GEM detectors, equipped with a new readout system, in the forward region of the muon system (1.5<|η|<2.2) of the CMS detector. Combining triggering and tracking functionalities the new triple-Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) chambers will improve the performance of...

Large area Micromegas (MM) detectors will be employed for the Muon Spectrometer upgrade of the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. A total surface of about 150 m^2 of the forward regions of the Muon Spectrometer will be equipped with 8 layers of MM modules. Each module covers a surface area of
approximately 2 to 3 m^2 for a total active area of 1200 m^2. Together with the small-strips Thin Gap...

The largest gaseous Time Projection Chamber (TPC) in the world, the ALICE TPC, will be upgraded based on Micro Pattern Gas Detector technology during the second long shutdown of the CERN Large Hadron Collider in 2018/19. The upgraded detector will operate continuously without the use of a triggered gating grid. It will thus be able to read all minimum bias Pb-Pb events that the LHC will...

Position resolving detection of thermal neutrons combined with timing information and high flux capability are key features of detectors in spallation sources like the ESS. In order to reach the extremely low
spatial resolution of less than 200 µm for neutron tomography or radiography novel readout scheme based on the time-projection-chamber (TPC) concept is used in a gaseous electron...

A Micro-mesh Gaseous Detector, or Micromegas, is a parallel plate detector used in tracking apparatus for its low material budget, good spatial and time resolutions, and high rate capabilities.
Recent development in the fabrication of the detector, the bulk technology, has made the detector monolithic by embedding the micro-mesh on the readout electrode. This allowed to curve the detector...

In this work we present two innovative architectures of resistive MPGDs based on the WELL-amplification concept:
- the micro-Resistive WELL ($\mu$-RWELL) is a compact spark-protected single amplification-stage Micro-Pattern Gas Detector (MPGD). The amplification stage, realized with a structure very similar to a GEM foil (called WELL), is embedded through a resistive layer in the readout...

Graphene is a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a honeycomb lattice with remarkable mechanical, electrical and optical properties which make this material interesting in a number of applications.
It can be regarded as the thinnest and narrowest conductive mesh, with drastically different transmission behaviours when bombarded with electrons and ions.
Graphene layers of dimensions of...
