6. The micromegas project for the ATLAS upgrade

George Iakovidis (National Technical Univ. of Athens (GR))

Micromegas is one of the detector technologies (along with the TGC-Thin Gap Chambers) that has been chosen for precision tracking and trigger purposes for the upgrade of the forward muon detectors of the ATLAS experiment in view of the LHC luminosity increase. We present a survey of the prototype micromegas detector performances obtained in recent test beam campaigns with high energy hadron...

8. Status of the Triple-GEM Project for the Upgrade of the CMS Muon System

The CMS GEM collaboration is developing a system of triple-GEM detectors for the endcap muon system (1.6 < |eta| < 2.4) of the CMS experiment at the LHC. GEM micro-pattern gas detectors are well-suited for the particle rates expected in that region at the planned high-luminosity LHC. With spatial resolution of order 100 microns, GEMs would enhance trigger capability and muon reconstruction....

11. GEM upgrade of the ALICE TPC

The ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment at CERN) collaboration plans an upgrade of the detector during the second long shutdown of the LHC, where the interaction rate will be increased to 50 kHz for Pb-Pb collisions. This demands an operation in an ungated continuous mode of the Time Projection Chamber (TPC). Therefore, a gating grid can not be used to block the ion back-flow (IBF) to...

15. Performances of large pixelized Micromegas detectors in the COMPASS environment

Florian Thibaud (C)

New large Micromegas detectors are being developed for the future projects of the COMPASS collaboration at CERN. Compared to the present Micromegas detectors, these ones will have to stand a five time higher flux in hadron beam with a reduced discharge rate, and detect particles in the beam region with a pixelized read-out. Several pixelized prototypes with two different discharge rate...

17. Progress on CLAS12 Micromegas detectors

The electron accelerator of the Thomas Jefferson Laboratory (Virginia, USA) will soon be upgraded to deliver 12 GeV high intensity beams. This increase in the performance will give the opportunity to study the nucleon structure with an unprecedented accuracy. To meet this end, new equipments will be installed in the experimental areas, particularly in the Hall B/CLAS spectrometer. One of the...
