The RD51 Collaboration: Development of Micro-Pattern Gas Detectors Technologies
The RD51 Collaboration: Development of Micro-Pattern Gas Detectors Technologies Advances in photo-lithography and micro processing techniques during the past decade triggered a major transition from wire chambers to micro-pattern gas amplification devices such as GEM and MicroMegas. Micro-Pattern Gaseous Detectors offer unprecedented spatial resolution, high rate capability, large sensitive area, operational stability and radiation hardness.…
