56. Potential Ion gating using GEM: Experiment and simulations

Philippe Gros

Positive ion feed-back can be problematic in a high precision Time Projection Chamber (TPC) as proposed for the International Linear Collider (ILC). Use of a traditional wire gating device is difficult because of the high magnetic field and the module structure. F. Sauli proposed, in 2006, the use of a Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) as a gating device. We have measured the electron...

57. Direct charge digital readout of dual phase xenon Time Projection Chambers with GridPix

Dual phase and high pressure noble gas Time Projection Chambers (TPC) are successfully employed in rare event experiments such as Dark Matter and neutrino-less double beta decay searches. The simultaneous measurement of the scintillation light and the ionisation electrons, converted to scintillation via the electroluminescence mechanism, allows for accurate 3D-reconstruction of the energy...

58. Recent advances with THGEM detectors

Shikma Bressler (Weizmann Institute of Science (IL))

The Thick Gas Electron Multiplier (THGEM) is a simple and robust electrode suitable for large area detectors. The results of extensive comparative studies of the physical properties of different THGEM-based structures will be reviewed. The focus is on newly suggested THGEM-like configurations as well as on recently developed characterization methods. We will report on the properties of THGEM...
