DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Heinrich Schindler (CERN)\, Marta Lisowska (CERN)\n\
 nIn 1988 a new family of gaseous detectors\, so-called Micropattern Gas De
 tectors (MPGDs)\, started to be conceived\, motivated by overcoming the lo
 calization and rate limits of wire-based detectors. Building on the rich h
 istory of gaseous detectors\, MPGDs have enjoyed uninterrupted research an
 d development since and are now an integral part of High Energy Physics ex
 periments and beyond. Today the CMS muon system\, the ATLAS New Small Whee
 l 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 Physics experiments\, domains such as (medical) i
 maging and dosimetry have also profited from the advancements of this tech
 nology.\nStudents will have the opportunity to work in the laboratory used
  by the EP-DT-DD Gas Detectors Development (GDD) team\; a group created in
  the late sixties by Georges Charpak\, inventor of the Multiwire Proportio
 nal Chamber\, which resulted in the 1992 Nobel prices for Physics. During 
 the laboratory session\, the students will be introduced to the physics dr
 iving these devices and will operate actual MPGD prototypes used for vario
 us R&D purposes. \nTo participate in this workshop you need to attend thi
 s introduction lecture. If you cannot attend this introduction lecture as 
 well please do not subscribe for this workshop\n\nhttps://indico.cern.ch/e
