The sPHENIX detector is being constructed at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at the Brookhaven National Laboratory in the USA. It will be commissioned for data taking in 2023. It will focus on measuring jets as well as open and hidden heavy flavor production in heavy ion collisions to study the properties of the Quark Gluon Plasma. The tracking of the sPHENIX apparatus is...
The high-luminosity upgrade of the CEBAF Large Acceptance Spectrometer (CLAS12) will significantly enhance the physics reach of experiments in Hall B at JLab. However, at the current luminosity of L = 1 × 1035 cm-2 s-1, the reconstruction efficiency of charged particles in the forward region of the CEBAF Large Acceptance Spectrometer (CLAS12) is at the level of 85% and limited in part by the...
In the central detector of the CLAS12 experiment at Jefferson Lab, the Barrel Micromegas Tracker (BMT) consists of six layers of low mass cylindrical resistive Micromegas tiles. The BMT surrounds three layers of silicon strip detectors to form the Central Vertex Tracker. The Micromegas tiles sit in a 5 T solenoid magnetic field, with the drift electric field orthogonal to the magnetic field,...
High pressure xenon time projection chamber (TPC) is an important detector technology to search neutrino-less double beta decays. The neutrino-less double beta decay search experiment of PandaX-III at the China Jinping Underground Laboratory uses a 10 bar 136Xe TPC with a readout plane consisting of 52 200×200 mm Micromegas detectors for high granularity, good energy resolution and a...
