Beam induced space-charge effects in Time Projection Chambers in low-energy nuclear physics experiments
J. S. Randhawa, M. Cortesi, Y. Ayyad +14
Tracking capabilities in Time Projection Chambers (TPCs) are strongly dictated by the homogeneity of the drift field. Ion back-flow in various gas detectors, mainly induced by the…

First performance evaluation of a Multi-layer Thick Gaseous Electron Multiplier with in-built electrode meshes - MM-THGEM
Rui de Olivera, Marco Cortesi
We describe a new micro-pattern gas detector structure comprising a multi-layer hole-type multiplier (M-THGEM) combined with two in-built electrode meshes: the Multi-Mesh THGEM-typ…
