Description
Almost one century after its origin, and thirty years after the invention of
the Multi-Wire Proportional Chamber, the field of gaseous detectors is far
from being fully exploited. With the increasingly stringent constraints of
modern experiments, particularly concerning high rate capability and
radiation resistance, spatial resolution and homogeneity of large sensitive
area detection, a large research effort is devoted to the improvement and
optimization of existing devices and the development of new more powerful
concepts for radiation detection. The recent results in the field of gaseous
detectors - used for particle physics and astrophysics research, space
instrumentation, synchrotron radiation, biology and medical applications,
with focus on design principles, performance, reliability and limitations - will
be discussed. Novel structures where micropattern detectors are directly
coupled to pixelized readout electronics may open novel detection
possibilities in high energy physics and medical imaging. Finally, this talk will
also highlight the main achievements in the field of gas detectors and will
review the most promising directions in future developments and
applications.
