Speaker
Description
We present recent advances in novel gas avalanche detector concepts developed for applications at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB). We report on the development of Multi-layer Thick Gas Electron Multiplier (M-THGEM) structures as readout systems for the tracking detector at the focal plane of the S800 spectrometer, alongside the design of an enlarged drift chamber for the upcoming High Rigidity Spectrometer (HRS) project. Additionally, we detail the integration of the Scalable Readout System (SRS) as a data acquisition (DAQ) solution for wire-based heavy-ion tracking detectors.
Furthermore, we highlight the latest developments in a low-pressure, heavy-ion 2D imaging system employing the novel Multi-Mesh THGEM (MM-THGEM) readout architecture, targeting fission and fission-like reaction studies. We present the operational principles and characterize detector performance, including sub-nanosecond timing resolution (σ < 1 ns), sub-millimeter spatial resolution (σ < 1 mm), and long-term operational stability. Experimental results obtained with a low-energy rare isotope beam are presented and discussed.
