B4: Gaseous Detector R&D
- Gabriella Pugliese ()
The development of new materials with tunable surface and/or bulk resistivity paved the way to explore new resistive-MPGD technologies for application in cryogenic systems. We will present new results obtained with two novel technologies targeting operation in liquid argon DP-TPCs: the cryogenic Resistive WELL (RWELL) and the cryogenic Resistive Plate WELL (RPWELL). The RWELL and RPWELL...
A gaseous Time Projection Chamber (TPC) with optical readout is proposed in the CYGNO project as an innovative technique to study rare events such as DM particle or solar neutrino interactions. 3D particle tracks can be reconstructed in the TPC volume, filled with He:CF4 at atmospheric pressure. The amplification stage exploits a stack of three Gas Electron Multipliers (GEM) stack where the...
Reliable operation of gaseous coordinate detectors in modern High Energy Physics experiments requires precise and stable composition of the working gas mixture. Independent monitoring of the gas quality is vital for many detector systems.
We propose independent gas quality monitoring system based on a straw tube module equipped with a configurable high voltage supply, readout electronics...
In preparation for the High Luminosity LHC phase, the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment is working on its (Phase-2) upgrade. The Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) detectors are one of the technologies involved in this upgrade. The GEM systems consist of 3 stations. GE1/1 was installed and is taking data since the beginning of Run3; GE2/1 and ME0 will be installed during the next Year End...
During the upcoming years of the High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) program, the CMS Muon spectrometer will face challenging conditions. The existing detectors, which consist of Drift Tubes (DT), Resistive Plate Chambers (RPC), and Cathode Strip Chambers (CSC), as well as recently installed Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) stations, will need to sustain an instantaneous luminosity of...
The development and evaluation of environmentally sustainable gas mixtures for Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs) have become increasingly important due to the high Global Warming Potential (GWP) associated with the currently mostly used gases, C2H2F4 and SF6. The ECOGAS collaboration, which includes ATLAS, CMS, ALICE, LHCb/SHiP, and the CERN EP-DT group, is dedicated to investigating the...
