DESCRIPTION

How will we work? Obviously, the work has to start from the Applications. There will be meetings on the various tasks to compare findings, exchange experience from the applications Example : Thick-GEMS are developed for various applications: photon detection for Cherenkov, calorimetry, muon systems… RD51’s goal is to make these work together. Another example : large bulk Micromegas are developed for sLHC muon chambers, neutrino long baseline experiments, calorimetry. Here also cross-fertilization between applications would be productive. The first step was to ask, end of May 2008: - What is your preferred technology?(GEM, Micromegas, THGEM, RETGEM, MHSP, Cobra, PIMS, Microgroove, microwell, microdots…) - What are your main applications? (calorimetry, TPC, photon detection, medical, imaging,… - What is your timescale (small prototyping, scale 1 prototyping, delivery of detector, …) GEOMETRY OF WG1

Working Group 1 Technological Aspects and Developments of New Detector structures WG1 Geometry and Interactions WG1: Technological Aspects and Developments of New Detector Structures Objective: Detector design optimization, development of new multiplier geometries and techniques. Task 1: Development of large-area Micro-Pattern Gas Detectors (large-area modules, material budget reduction). Task 2: Detector design optimization including fabrication methods and new geometries (Bulk Micromegas, Microbulk Micromegas, single-mask GEM, THGEM, RETGEM, MHSP, charge-dispersive readout, Ingrid). Task 3: Development of radiation-hard and radio-purity detectors. Task 4: Design of portable sealed detectors. How will we work? Obviously, the work has to start from the Applications. There will be meetings on the various tasks to compare findings, exchange experience from the applications Example : Thick-GEMS are developed for various applications: photon detection for Cherenkov, calorimetry, muon systems RD51s goal is to make these work together. Another example : large bulk Micromegas are developed for sLHC muon chambers, neutrino long baseline experiments, calorimetry. Here also cross-fertilization between applications would be productive. The first step was to ask, end of May 2008: - What is your preferred technology?(GEM, Micromegas, THGEM, RETGEM, MHSP, Cobra, PIMS, Microgroove, microwell, microdots) - What are your main applications?
