Performance of wire-type Rn detectors operated with gas gain in ambient air in view of its possible application to early earthquake predictions
G. Charpak, P. Benaben, P. Breuil +3
We describe a detector of alpha particles based on wire type counters (single-wire and multiwire) operating in ambient air at high gas gains (100-1000). The main advantages of thes…
Progress in the development of a S RETGEM-based detector for an early forest fire warning system
G. Charpak, P. Benaben, P. Breuil +3
In this paper we present a prototype of a Strip Resistive Thick GEM photosensitive gaseous detector filled with Ne and ethylferrocene vapours at a total pressure of 1 atm for an ea…
Development of New Hole-Type Avalanche Detectors and the First Results of their Applications
G. Charpak, P. Benaben, P. Breuil +3
We have developed a new detector of photons and charged particles- a hole-type structure with electrodes made of a double layered resistive material: a thin low resistive layer coa…
Detector of alpha particles and x-rays operating in ambient air in pulse counting mode or/and with gas amplification
G. Charpak, P. Benaben, P. Breuil +1
Ionization chambers working in ambient air in current detection mode are widely used in several applications such as smoke detection, dosimetry, therapeutic beam monitoring and cet…
Micromegas in a Bulk
I. Giomataris, R. De Oliveira, S. Andriamonje +6
In this paper we present a novel way to manufacture the bulk Micromegas detector. A simple process based on the PCB (Printed Circuit Board) technology is employed to produce the en…
