Oral presentation

Many experiments are currently using or proposing to use large area GEM foils in their detectors, which is creating a need for commercially available GEM foils. Currently CERN is the only main distributor of large GEM foils, however with the growing interest in GEM technology keeping up with the increasing demand for GEMs will be difficult.

We present here an update on the assembly and...

41. Optical readout of MPGDs: Techniques and applications

Florian Maximilian Brunbauer (CERN, Vienna University of Technology (AT))

Oral presentation

High position resolution, insensitivity to electronic noise and intuitive interpretation of results without the need for extensive data processing are among the key advantages of optical readout of MPGD-based detectors. Together with the high gain factors achievable by technologies such as GEMs, this allows for sensitive 2D detectors taking advantage of inexpensive and commercially available...

38. Towards a 60 x 60 cm2 demonstrator for the NMX instrument at the European Spallation Source ERIC

Patrik Thuiner (CERN)

25/05/2017, 09:40

Oral presentation

Neutron detectors based on solid converters in combination with Micro Pattern Gaseous Detectors (MPGDs) are a promising option for neutron scattering instruments at the European Spallation Source ERIC that require excellent spatial resolution combined with time resolution, high-rate capabilities and a good neutron detection efficiency.

The NMX macromolecular diffractometer will consist of...
