X-ray detection with Micromegas with background levels below 10 keVcms
S. Aune, F. Aznar, D. Calvet +26
Micromegas detectors are an optimum technological choice for the detection of low energy x-rays. The low background techniques applied to these detectors yielded remarkable backgro…
Description and commissioning of NEXT-MM prototype: first results from operation in a Xenon-Trimethylamine gas mixture
NEXT Collaboration, V. Álvarez, F. Aznar +82
A technical description of NEXT-MM and its commissioning and first performance is reported. Having an active volume of ~35 cm drift 28 cm diameter, it constitutes the larg…
Characterization of a medium size Xe/TMA TPC instrumented with microbulk Micromegas, using low-energy -rays
The NEXT collaboration, V. Alvarez, F. I. G. M. Borges +87
NEXT-MM is a general-purpose high pressure (10 bar, l active volume) Xenon-based TPC, read out in charge mode with an 8 cm 8 cm-segmented 700 cm plane (1152 ch…
Low background x-ray detection with Micromegas for axion research
S. Aune, J. F. Castel, T. Dafni +23
Axion helioscopes aim at the detection of solar axions through their conversion into x-rays in laboratory magnetic fields. The use of low background x-ray detectors is an essential…
Piggyback resistive Micromegas
D. Attié, A. Chaus, D. Durand +10
Piggyback Micromegas consists in a novel readout architecture where the anode element is made of a resistive layer on a ceramic substrate. The resistive layer is deposited on the t…
Characterization and simulation of resistive-MPGDs with resistive strip and layer topologies
J. Galan, D. Attie, A. Chaus +8
The use of resistive technologies to MPGD detectors is taking advantage for many new applications, including high rate and energetic particle flux scenarios. The recent use of thes…
