New (TH)GEM coating materials characterised using spectroscopy methods
B. Ulukutlu, P. Gasik, T. Waldmann +5
In this work GEM and single-hole Thick GEM structures, composed of different coating materials, are studied. The used foils incorporate conductive layers made of copper, aluminium,…
A new amplification structure for time projection chambers based on electroluminescence
D. González-Díaz, M. Fontaíña, D. García Castro +6
A simple hole-type secondary scintillation structure (2 mm-hole, 5 mm-pitch, 5 mm-thickness) is introduced and its operation demonstrated in pure xenon in the pressure range 2-10 b…
A study in using MICROMEGAS to improve particle identification with the TAMU-MDM focal plane detector
Alexandra Spiridon, Emmanuel Pollacco, Antti Saastamoinen +5
A MICROMEGAS detection amplifier has been incorporated into the design of the TAMU MDM focal plane detector with the purpose of improving the energy resolution and thus, the partic…
The micro-RWELL layouts for high particle rate
G. Bencivenni, R. de Oliveira, G. Felici +6
The -RWELL is a single-amplification stage resistive Micro-Pattern Gaseous Detector (MPGD). The detector amplification element is realized with a single copper-clad polyimide fo…
Production and Integration of the ATLAS Insertable B-Layer
B. Abbott, J. Albert, F. Alberti +373
During the shutdown of the CERN Large Hadron Collider in 2013-2014, an additional pixel layer was installed between the existing Pixel detector of the ATLAS experiment and a new, s…
