THGEM operation in Ne and Ne/CH4
M. Cortesi, V. Peskov, G. Bartesaghi +8
The operation of Thick Gaseous Electron Multipliers (THGEM) in Ne and Ne/CH4 mixtures, features high multiplication factors at relatively low operation potentials, in both single-…
Ion-induced secondary electron emission from K-Cs-Sb, Na-K-Sb and Cs-Sb photocathodes and its relevance to the operation of gaseous avalanche photomultipliers
A. Lyashenko, A. Breskin, R. Chechik +1
The operation of visible-sensitive gaseous- and, to some extent, vacuum-photomultipliers is critically affected by secondary electrons originating from ion impact on the photocatho…
High-gain DC-mode operated Gaseous Photomultipliers for the visible spectral range
A. Lyashenko, A. Breskin, R. Chechik +3
We shortly describe recent progress in photon detectors combining bi-alkali photocathodes and cascaded patterned gas-avalanche electron multipliers. It permitted the development an…
A concise review on THGEM detectors
A. Breskin, R. Alon, M. Cortesi +5
We briefly review the concept and properties of the Thick GEM (THGEM); it is a robust, high-gain gaseous electron multiplier, manufactured economically by standard printed-circuit…
Efficient ion blocking in gaseous detectors and its application to gas-avalanche photomultipliers sensitive in the visible-light range
A. V. Lyashenko, A. Breskin, R. Chechik +3
A novel concept for ion blocking in gas-avalanche detectors was developed, comprising cascaded micro-hole electron multipliers with patterned electrodes for ion defocusing. This le…
