Invited Talk

The steady progress made over the past years in the design of innovative particle identification detectors has enabled to achieve relevant physics results in various experiments. However, new ideas and new challenging developments are needed for complying with the unprecedented particle identification performance required by the planned experiments at SuperB factories and at the forthcoming...

The new heavy-ion program launched recently at JINR (Dubna) is devoted to the search for signals of deconfinement phase transition, chiral symmetry restoration and the QCD critical endpoint. The future high luminosity accelerator facility NICA will supply ion species ranging from proton to Au ions in the region of the collider energy up to $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$=11 GeV. In order to achieve the NICA...

MLF at J-PARC is one of the world’s highest intensity pulsed neutron sources. When J-PARC becomes fully operational, remarkable achievements in the fields of material structure science and life science are expected. The detectors used in the facility must be able to achieve a high count rate. Since a　GEM is a gaseous detector with a high count rate capability, the GEM-based detector is highly...
