DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Marta Lisowska (CERN)\n\nIn 1988 a new family of gas
 eous detectors\, so-called Micropattern Gas Detectors (MPGDs)\, started to
  be conceived\, motivated by overcoming the localization and rate limits o
 f wire-based detectors. Building on the rich history of gaseous detectors\
 , MPGDs have enjoyed uninterrupted research and development since and are 
 now an integral part of High Energy Physics experiments and beyond. Today 
 the CMS muon system\, the ATLAS New Small Wheel and the ALICE TPC are only
  some of the most recent examples in the ever-growing list of applications
  where this type of detector is used. Outside the realm of High Energy Phy
 sics experiments\, domains such as (medical) imaging and dosimetry have al
 so profited from the advancements of this technology.\nStudents will have 
 the opportunity to work in the laboratory used by the EP-DT-DD Gas Detecto
 rs Development (GDD) team\; a group created in the late sixties by Georges
  Charpak\, inventor of the Multiwire Proportional Chamber\, which resulted
  in the 1992 Nobel prices for Physics. During the laboratory session\, the
  students will be introduced to the physics driving these devices and will
  operate actual MPGD prototypes used for various R&D purposes. \n \nReq
 uirement: all participating students are required to both carry a dosimete
 r and have successfully completed the Radiation Protection - Supervised Ar
 ea course on CERN's learning hub. Access to the dosimeter can easily be ac
 hieved following the steps outlined here: https://dosimetry.web.cern.ch/do
 simeters/how-obtain-dosimeter\n \nTo participate in this workshop you nee
 d to attend the introduction lecture on the 10th of August 2026 from 2pm u
 ntil 3pm. If you cannot attend this introduction lecture as well please do
  not subscribe for this workshop\n\nhttps://indico.cern.ch/event/1704467/
