Description
Micro Pattern Gas Detectors (MPGDs) are flexible and widespread devices with promising performances for the next generation High Energy Physics experiments, as well as for many other applications as medical, imaging, dosimetry. Large instrumented surfaces, high rate capability, very good position resolution, radiation tolerance and low material budget are key features of MPGDs. Different technologies and materials entering into this field are providing new possibilities for future detectors.
The first part of the training seminar will treat some basic of gaseous detection and the reasons why micro pattern gaseous detector have been introduced. A brief overview of MPGDs at CERN, currently running or planned for next upgrades in the experiments, will be given.
In the second part we will focus on the path in between requirements, R&D and final design of detectors for experiments. R&D process and some peculiarities of this technology will be described using real cases where requirements (driven by the experiment) or issues (related to the technology itself) have been faced by the groups that are working with MPGDs.
The seminar is organized such that no specific background is required.
