Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors as flatness and mechanical stretching sensors

D. Abbaneo, M. Abbas, M. Abbrescia +153

A novel approach which uses Fibre Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors has been utilised to assess and monitor the flatness of Gaseous Electron Multipliers (GEM) foils. The setup layout and…
