Principle of operation of micro pattern detectors

  • 1. CERN, 1211 Geneva 23 (Switzerland)

Description

Microstrip Gas Chambers (MSGC's), Small Gap and Groove detectors with an optional GEM foil are a recent development of gaseous micro-pattern detectors providing a cost efficient solution for a tracking detector. They provide good spatial resolution (∼35 μm) and can operate in high radiation environments (up to ∼104 particles/mm2). The laboratory course on micro pattern detectors tried to give an understanding of the layout and basic functioning of these detectors
