Novel Gas-based Detection Techniques
Invited Talk
A description of some basic properties of gas-based detectors that make them
attractive for advanced applications will be made. Of those operating with gas
gain, emphasis will be given to the gas electron multiplier, the pin detector, and
the traditional wire chamber. The benefits of operating in ionization mode will be
explored. Examples of these techniques in experiments employing...

MicroHole and Strip Plate detector (MHSP) has an intrinsic
capability for position detection. This new gaseous multiplier conceived as a
combination of an MSGC and GEM in a single, double sided element, integrates two
successive independent stages of charge amplification, a GEM-like hole-avalanche
and an MSGC-like anode-strip avalanche. Like the GEM, the MHSP
is fabricated with...

Noble liquids are excellent detecting medias: they have a rather
high stopping power, allow electrons and ions to drift and they have
an exceptionally high scintillation yield. All these properties are
simultaneously exploited in the noble liquid Time Projecting
Chambers (TPCs) which allow to visualize charge tracks, measure the
deposited energy and the light to charge ratio [1]. One...

A new technique of fabrication of Micromegas (MM) using the PCB
technologies has been developed. A standard commercial wire mesh (19
m) was employed as cathode element and the amplification gap was
defined by using spacers (pillars) made out of a 100 m thick Solder
Mask (SM). After a three steps process, lamination, insulation and
development, the detector core is obtained as a...

A new detector for nuclear astrophysics studies is being designed
and built by TRIUMF and the University of York. TACTIC, the TRIUMF
Annular Chamber for Tracking and Identification of Charged
particles, is designed to detect low energy charged particles from
reaction studies performed at the relevant astrophysical energies,
in inverse kinematics. TACTIC is a cylindrical ionisation...
