Resistive Micro-Pattern Gaseous Detector (MPGD) technologies, such as Micro-Mesh Gaseous Structure (Micromegas), Micro Resistive WELL (uRWELL), and Resistive Plate WELL (RPWELL), are single-stage amplification detectors where signals are induced on the readout electrode through a resistive material. While these technologies have been extensively studied for various applications, their...
Optical readout of MPGDs achieves high spatial resolution with state-of-the-art pixellated imaging sensors for applications ranging from optical Time Projection Chambers (TPCs) to imaging and detector characterisation. Gas mixtures containing CF4 are the most popular choice for optically read out MPGDs due to their strong visible light yield. This presents challenges due to decreasing...
In this work we present the latest results and applications of the SAMPA chip integrated into the Scalable Readout System (SRS). Developed to work as the Front-End of ALICE TPC and Muon Chamber, SAMPA is now adapted to the SRS framework developed by the RD51 (now DRD1) collaboration. Using a custom developed hybrid and adapter board it is possible to read data from up to 512 electronic...
