Novel Gas-based Detection Techniques
Oral Presentation
Nowadays, micropattern gaseous detectors (MPDGs) challenge traditional gaseous detectors (such as MWPCs, RPCs and parallel-plate avalanche chambers) in practically all the applications. The main advantage of the MPGDS is that they are manufactured by means of a microelectronics technology, which offers a high granularity and, consequently an excellent position resolution. However, the fine...

Detectors for High Radiation and Extreme Environments
Oral Presentation
For future neutrino oscillation experiments new large mass scale detectors are needed. One possible type of such detectors could be the liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LAr TPC). Therefore, some technical challenges have to be met: purity of the LAr, high voltage supply, calibration etc. To face these challenges, a R&D LAr TPC is now under development at the LHEP of the University of...
