Due to the thickness of the substrate the area of c opper on the lower level must be much greater than on the top to achieve e qual charge sharing. As an alternative we have produced 2D readout boards using standard circuit board manufacturing techniques. This method emplo ys pads between the lines on the top layer. The pads are then connected by tiny vias to traces on the lower layer running in a different direction t o the top lines achieving a 2D readout scheme. The area of copper for the lines and pads are comparable and better controlled than with the chemica l etching approach. Also\, since the lines and pads are at the same level \, the charge sharing is easily fixed during the design process. This app roach allows readout designs other that orthogonal to be developed and tai lored to the physics needs. We have studied a variety of different design s from various orthogonal designs to R-Phi designs used in the STAR FGT pr oject\, to stereo designs used in the OLYMPUS GEM tracker. XUV designs ar e also possible with the added benefit of redundancy to resolve multi-hit events. Depending on the feature sizes such 2D readout boards can be prod uced by a wide range of vendors. We will present our experience producing such boards and show some results from STAR and OLYMPUS.\n\nhttp://indico .cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=53&sessionId=7&confId=179611 LOCATION:Stony

(Weizmann Institute of Science)\nA n ovel high-efficiency\, one-dimensional fast neutron imaging detector inten ded for future fan-beam transmission tomography applications\, was recentl y proposed. It consists of a multi-layer neutron-to-proton converter made of hydrogenous materials (polymer) coupled to a position-sensitive THGEM d etector\; the latter collects and multiplies the proton-induced electrons released in the gas gap between the converter foils\, thereby sensing the impinging-neutron’s position.\nWe will briefly review the design\, opera tional principles and expected performances of the new detector concept. W e will report on the characterization studies and results of electron tran sport along the small gas gaps of the converter\, which affects the perfor mance of the detector\, both in terms of detection efficiency and localiza tion properties – measured with a multi-foil converter and aa 10x10 cm2 THGEM imaging detector\; the experimental results are compared to Monte-Ca rlo simulations ones.\nFor irradiation with 2.5 MeV neutrons and a total o f 300 converter foils\, detection efficiencies of ~ 7% and a spatial resol ution of round 1 mm are expected.\nAmong foreseen applications are neutron tomography in non-destructive testing for the nuclear energy industry\, i ncluding examination of spent nuclear fuel bundles\, detection of explosiv es & drugs\, as well as investigations of thermal-hydraulics phenomena.\n\ nhttp://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=11&sessionId=6&con fId=179611 LOCATION:Stony Brook University Wang Lecture Hall 2 URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=11&sessionId=6& confId=179611 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Micromegas for the ATLAS upgrade: status and plans DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20121001T201000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20121001T203000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130521T161535Z UID:indico-contribution-179611-10@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: WOTSCHACK\, Joerg (CERN)\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/cont ributionDisplay.py?contribId=10&sessionId=6&confId=179611 LOCATION:Stony Brook University Wang Lecture Hall 2 URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=10&sessionId=6& confId=179611 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Update on GEMs for CMS high-eta DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20121001T195000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20121001T201000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130521T161535Z UID:indico-contribution-179611-13@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: SHARMA\, Archana (CERN)\, HOHLMANN\, Marcus (Florida Institute of Technology (US))\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay. py?contribId=13&sessionId=6&confId=179611 LOCATION:Stony Brook University Wang Lecture Hall 2 URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=13&sessionId=6& confId=179611 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:RD51 Collaboration News DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20121001T131000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20121001T134000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130521T161535Z UID:indico-contribution-179611-38@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: ROPELEWSKI\, Leszek (CERN)\, Dr. TITOV\, Maxim (CEA Saclay)\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=38&session Id=5&confId=179611 LOCATION:Stony Brook University Wang Lecture Hall 2 URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=38&sessionId=5& confId=179611 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:ACTAR-TPC: a new active target time projection chamber for radioac tive beam experiments DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20121004T132000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20121004T134000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130521T161535Z UID:indico-contribution-179611-15@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Dr. SUZUKI\, Daisuke (CNRS/IN2P3/IPNO)\nhttp://indic o.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=15&sessionId=10&confId=179611 LOCATION:Stony Brook University Wang Lecture Hall 2 URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=15&sessionId=10 &confId=179611 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Test beam\, laboratory and CERN facilities DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20121002T185000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20121002T193000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130521T161535Z UID:indico-contribution-179611-58@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: OLIVERI\, Eraldo (Sezione di Pisa (IT))\, TSIPOLITIS \, Yorgos (National Technical Univ. of Athens (GR))\, KOPONEN\, Lari Mikae l (H)\n1.

The APV c hip\, developed for the CMS tracker\, is often used to readout GEM as well as silicon strip detectors. To reduce prototyping and development costs w e have packaged the APV chips into a BGA. This allows front-end electroni cs to be developed and tested without the need to design boards with the v ery fine pitch wire bonding. It also allows boards with failed chips to b e repaired easily. We will discuss the design\, and production experience\ , and recommendations for future users.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/contribut ionDisplay.py?contribId=52&sessionId=7&confId=179611 LOCATION:Stony Brook University Wang Lecture Hall 2 URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=52&sessionId=7& confId=179611 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Micromegas for COMPASS\, project and industrialisation DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20121004T150000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20121004T152000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130521T161535Z UID:indico-contribution-179611-33@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: NEYRET\, Damien (CEA - Centre d'Etudes de Saclay (FR ))\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=33&sessionId=10 &confId=179611 LOCATION:Stony Brook University Wang Lecture Hall 2 URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=33&sessionId=10 &confId=179611 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Integration of SRU in ATLAS Micromega readout (via EVO) DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20121002T132500Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20121002T134500Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130521T161535Z UID:indico-contribution-179611-47@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: ZIBELL\, Andre (Ludwig-Maximilians-Univ.
