The large inner Micromegas modules for the Atlas Muon Spectrometer Upgrade: construction, quality control and characterization
J. Allard, M. Anfreville, N. Andari +71
The steadily increasing luminosity of the LHC requires an upgrade with high-rate and high-resolution detector technology for the inner end cap of the ATLAS muon spectrometer: the N…
Neutron spectroscopy with the Spherical Proportional Counter
E. Bougamont, A. Dastgheibi, J. Derre +11
A novel large volume spherical proportional counter, recently developed, is used for neutron measurements. Gas mixtures of with and pure are studied fo…
Low Background Micromegas in CAST
J. G. Garza, S. Aune, D. Calvet +22
Solar axions could be converted into x-rays inside the strong magnetic field of an axion helioscope, triggering the detection of this elusive particle. Low background x-ray detecto…
Lowering the background level and the energy threshold of Micromegas x-ray detectors for axion searches
F. J. Iguaz, S. Aune, F. Aznar +14
Axion helioscopes search for solar axions by their conversion in x-rays in the presence of high magnetic fields. The use of low background x-ray detectors is an essential component…
Background optimization for a new spherical gas detector for very light WIMP detection
Ali Dastgheibi-Fard, I. Giomataris, G. Gerbierb +13
The Spherical gaseous detector (or Spherical Proportional Counter, SPC) is a novel type of par- ticle detector, with a broad range of applications. Its main features include a very…
NEWS : a new spherical gas detector for very low mass WIMP detection
G. Gerbier, I. Giomataris, P. Magnier +10
The main characteristics of a new concept of spherical gaseous detectors, with some details on its operation are first given. The very low energy threshold of such detector has led…
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…
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…
