50. Development of ultra-low mass and high-rate capable RPC based on Diamond-Like Carbon electrodes for MEG II experiment

Kensuke Yamamoto (The University of Tokyo)

9/27/22, 2:50 PM

Oral

A novel background identification detector is under development for the MEG II experiment, aiming at further sensitivity improvement in the $\mu \to e \gamma$ decay search. This detector needs to detect MIP positrons in a low-momentum high-intensity muon beam. Extremely low-mass design of radiation length of 0.1% is required because the muon beam of $28~\mathrm{MeV}/c$ passes through the...

51. Development of Resistive Cylindrical Chambers

Roberto Cardarelli (INFN e Universita Roma Tor Vergata (IT))

9/27/22, 3:15 PM

Oral

A new generation of gaseous particle detectors named Resistive Cylindrical Chamber (RCC) has been developed to overcome the limitations of Resistive Plate Chambers and broaden their application range. The principle behind this new technology consists in the transition from a planar to a cylindrical geometry while maintaining an almost planar electric field. The cylindrical structure of the...

73. SI-GaAs wafers as resistive electrode for high rate RPC with very low dark count rate

Alessandro Rocchi (INFN e Universita Roma Tor Vergata (IT)), Barbara Liberti (INFN e Universita Roma Tor Vergata (IT)), Roberto Cardarelli (INFN e Universita Roma Tor Vergata (IT))

9/27/22, 3:40 PM

Oral

The characterization of new materials for electrodes plate design is one of the central themes in the development of high rate RPC detectors.
Semiconductive crystals have been characterized since the 90s, showing an excellent response to high irradiation with the limitation to fall into destructive discharges.
The development of new front-ends with high signal to noise ratio allowed us to...

74. The Surface Resistive Plate Counter

Giovanni Bencivenni (INFN e Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati (IT))

9/27/22, 4:25 PM

Oral

The surface Resistive Plate Counter (sRPC) is a new RPC based on surface resistive electrodes realized with Diamond-Like-Carbon sputtered on Apical® foil. Exploiting high granularity current evacuation schemes developed for resistive MPGD and using electrodes with surface resistivity from 1 GΩ/□ down to 100MΩ/□, sRPCs standing particle fluxes up to 1 - 100 kHz/cm2 should be easily...

84. Picosecond Avalanche Detector - working principle and gain measurement with a proof-of-concept prototype

Lorenzo Paolozzi (CERN)

9/27/22, 4:50 PM

Oral

The Picosecond Avalanche Detector is a multi-junction silicon pixel detector based on a (NP)drift(NP)gain structure, devised to enable charged-particle tracking with high spatial resolution and picosecond time-stamp capability. It uses a continuous junction deep inside the sensor volume to amplify the primary charge produced by ionizing radiation in a thin absorption layer. The signal is then...
