The bulk Micromegas detector is considered to be a promising candidate for building TPCs for several future experiments including the projected linear collider. The standard bulk with a spacing of 128 micron has already established itself as a good choice for its performances in terms of gas gain uniformity, energy and space point resolution and its capability to efficiently pave large readout...

Active target detection systems, where the gas used as the detection medium is also a target for nuclear reactions, have been used for a wide variety of nuclear physics experiments since the eighties. The improvement in MPGD (Micro Pattern Gaseous Detectors) and in micro-electronics achieved in the last decade permits the development of a new generation of active targets with higher...

GEM-based position sensitive detectors are used and planned to be used in several experiments in the Budker INP. At present eight triple-GEM detectors are installed in the KEDR experiment at the VEPP-4M collider where they operate in the tagging system measuring momenta of electrons and positrons after two-photon interactions. Several triple-GEM detectors made of very light components are...

The FAIR facility is an international accelerator centre for research with ion and antiproton beams. It is being built at Darmstadt, Germany as an extension to the current GSI research institute. One major part of the facility will be the Super-FRS
separator. The NUSTAR experiments will benefit from the Super-FRS, which will deliver an unprecedented range of radioactive ion beams (RIB). These...

A large area, high rate, high granularity gas detector system is being developed for detection of muons in the Compressed Baryonic Experiment (CBM) at the upcoming FAIR facility in Germany. Consisting of alternating layers of detector-triplets and thick hadron absorbers, the main task of these Muon Chambers (MUCH) is to detect dimuons arising out of the decay of the low mass vector mesons and...
