Properties of Micromegas pad detectors
- 1. Johannes Gutenberg-Universitaet Mainz (Germany)
Description
Micromegas detectors with a resistive strip layout are well suited to measure particle tracks in high rate environments. However, classical Micromegas with a 2D strip readout structure can lead to ambiguities in the track reconstruction. This problem can be solved by adding an additional Micromegas layer with a pad readout structure. In this talk first results obtained with a 10 x 10 cm2 Micromegas detector with 500 pads are presented. Two different layouts are compared and discussed.
