Cross-section Extraction and Experimental Validation in Alternative Gases

• Marnik Metting van Rijn
• Christian Franck (ETH Zürich)
• Christian Franck (ETH Zurich)

Room: 32/S-C22 Project presentation and current state of research followed by discussion

Optimization and Validation of Alternative Gas Mixtures used in Gaseous Detectors

• Christian Franck (ETH Zurich)
• Dario Stocco
• Christian Franck (ETH Zürich)

Room: 32/S-C22 Project presentation and general discussion about the project and definition of milestones to achieve the project goal in the expected timeframe. The goal is to define: 1. upcoming technical challenges/problems, 2. strategies to approach them, 3. evaluation procedure of new gas-mixtures, 4. gas-mixtures.

Studies on alternative gas mixtures with Resistive Plate Chamber Detectors

• Mattia Verzeroli (Universite Claude Bernard Lyon I (FR))

Room: 20/1-004 Presentation of the RPC setup used by the CERN Gas Group

Workshop on Cross Sections

• Christian Franck (ETH Zürich)
• Stephen Biagi (Uludag University (TR))
• Christian Franck (ETH Zurich)

Room: 20/1-004

Workshop on Cross Sections

• Stephen Biagi

Room: 20/1-004 Presentation and Discussion of previously and recently acquired R134a measurements. Setting boundaries and specify the follow-up measurements. Which electric field regime should be investigated at what pressure and in which mixtures?

Workshop on Garfield++

• Djunes Janssens (Vrije Universiteit Brussel (BE))
• Rob Veenhof (CERN)
• Piet Verwilligen (Universita e INFN, Bari (IT))
• Heinrich Schindler (CERN)

Room: 20/1-004 Investigation of the extensive possibilities of Garfield for the simulation and visualization of different detector types. The goal is to get to know the functional range of Garfield and to apply it to the detector types defined in the morning.

Workshop on numerical simulations and modeling

• Rob Veenhof (CERN)

Room: 222/R-003 Discussion about the numerical methods and physical models used in the back of Garfield. The goal is to get a clear understanding of how Garfield++ simulates the physics of the detectors and when it breaks down. Possibly modeling a simplified version (but considering space charges, cross section determination not feasible) that predicts performance less accurately but orders of magnitude faster.

Workshop on Cross Sections and Results achieved

• Stefania-Alexandra Juks (Imperial College (GB))

Room: 20/1-004 Cross section fitting and conclusion of the week. Which results were achieved?
