Description
GridPix detectors are a relatively new detector technology with a high density pixelated readout ASIC and a Micromegas style gas amplification stage. Due to the aligned mesh holes and pixels, a high efficiency for detecting and separating single primary electrons can be achieved. This leads to excellent spatial and energy resolution which can be used as a readout for Time projection chambers (TPC). TPCs have high material budget at the end-plates because of cooling and support structures. This limits the performance of forward and backward detectors at collider experiments. In this talk, I will discuss ongoing R&D and future plans towards the reduction of material budget and cooling schemes with the GridPix TPC.
