History and Mystery of Micro Strip Gas Chambers

Friday 4 Feb 2000, 11:00 → 14:00 Europe/Zurich

CERN

I shall discuss the work invested and the results obtained during more than five years of R&D in MSGCs. The topics covered will range from the basic functioning principles of this type of detector to the very successful results of all of the test-beam campaigns of 1999. These tests included the operation in a magnetic field, the use of APV front-end electronics and the response to heavily ionising hadron beams, mimicking the high-radiation and the other ambient conditions foreseen at the LHC. The investment and the achievements realised in conjunction with industry - in view of the planned large mass production - will be presented. The mechanical-structure foreseen for the CMS tracker as well as the detector system aspects will also be explained.

Organiser(s): Rui Ribeiro /EP Division

Note: Please note the new day of the week for the EP Seminars.
