Preliminary results of Resistive Plate Chambers operated with eco-friendly gas mixtures for application in the CMS experiment
M. Abbrescia, P. Van Auwegem, L. Benussi +11
The operations of Resistive Plate Chambers in LHC experiments require Fluorine based (F-based) gases for optimal performance. Recent European regulations demand the use of environm…
Study of gas purifiers for the CMS RPC detector
L. Benussi, S. Bianco, S. Colafranceschi +26
The CMS RPC muon detector utilizes a gas recirculation system called closed loop (CL) to cope with large gas mixture volumes and costs. A systematic study of CL gas purifiers has b…
Performance of Optically Readout GEM-based TPC with a 55Fe source
I. Abritta Costa, E. Baracchini, F. Bellini +13
Optical readout of large Time Projection Chambers (TPCs) with multiple Gas Electron Multipliers (GEMs) amplification stages has shown to provide very interesting performances for h…
Performance of the gas gain monitoring system of the CMS RPC muon detector
L. Benussi, S. Bianco, L. Passamonti +82
The RPC muon detector of the CMS experiment at the LHC (CERN, Geneva, Switzerland) is equipped with a Gas Gain Monitoring (GGM) system. A report on the stability of the system duri…
Construction of the first full-size GEM-based prototype for the CMS high- muon system
D. Abbaneo, S. Bally, H. Postema +32
In view of a possible extension of the forward CMS muon detector system and future LHC luminosity upgrades, Micro-Pattern Gas Detectors (MPGDs) are an appealing technology. They ca…
Science Prospects for the Southern Wide-field Gamma-ray Observatory: SWGO
SWGO Collaboration, P. Abreu, R. Alfaro +303
Ground-based gamma-ray astronomy is now well established as a key observational approach to address critical topics at the frontiers of astroparticle physics and high-energy astrop…
