Two-dimensional Optical Parallel-Plate Avalanche Counter (OPPAC) with SiPM optical readout for heavy-ion tracking
Yassid Ayyad, Cristina Cabo, Marco Cortesi
We report the progress achieved on the development of a two-dimensional Optical Parallel-Plate Avalanche Counter (OPPAC) prototype for heavy-ion tracking. The device consists of tw…
Development of a novel MPGD-based drift chamber for the NSCL/FRIB S800 spectrometer
M. Cortesi, J. Pereira, D. Bazin +4
The performance of a novel tracking detector developed for the focal plane of the NSCL/FRIB S800 magnetic spectrometer is presented. The detector comprises a large-area drift chamb…
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…
Operation of a THGEM-based detector in low-pressure Helium
Marco Cortesi, John Yurkon, Andreas Stolz
In view of a possible application as a charge-particle track readout for an Active Target Time Projection Chamber (AT-TPC), the operating properties of THick Gaseous Electron Multi…
