Plasma-Based Etching Approach for GEM Detector Microfabrication at FBK for X-ray polarimetry in space
A. Lega, D. Novel, T. Facchinelli +8
Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) detectors are crucial for enabling high-resolution X-ray polarisation of astrophysical sources when coupled to custom pixel readout ASIC in Gas Pixel…
Prototype muon detectors for the AMIGA component of the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Aab, P. Abreu +451
Auger Muons and Infill for the Ground Array) is an upgrade of the Pierre Auger Observatory to extend its range of detection and to directly measure the muon content of the particle…
Imaging with the invisible light
R. Bellazzini, G. Spandre, A. Brez +12
We describe a UV photo-detector with single photon(electron) counting and imaging capability. It is based on a CsI photocathode, a GEM charge multiplier and a self triggering CMOS…
Direct reading of charge multipliers with a self-triggering CMOS analog chip with 105k pixels at 50 micron pitch
R. Bellazzini, G. Spandre, M. Minuti +10
We report on a large active area (15x15mm2), high channel density (470 pixels/mm2), self-triggering CMOS analog chip that we have developed as pixelized charge collecting electrode…
Reading a GEM with a VLSI pixel ASIC used as a direct charge collecting anode
R. Bellazzini, F. Angelini, L. Baldini +11
In MicroPattern Gas Detectors (MPGD) when the pixel size is below 100 micron and the number of pixels is large (above 1000) it is virtually impossible to use the conventional PCB r…
