Development of Microstrip Gas Chambers for Radiation Detection and Tracking at High Rates: Final Status Repor
Sauli, F.
Micro-Strip Gas Chambers (MSGCs) have attracted a lot of interest since their introduction by A. Oed [1] due to many promising features: good position accuracy and twotrack resolution, high rate capability and low cost. However, medium and long-term stability problems have been met at high radiation rates attributed to substrate charging up and modifications, and ageing due to gas polymerization. To co-ordinate the research on MSGC by various groups, many of them working on tracking devices for ... Show Full Abstract
Micro-Strip Gas Chambers (MSGCs) have attracted a lot of interest since their introduction by A. Oed [1] due to many promising features: good position accuracy and twotrack resolution, high rate capability and low cost. However, medium and long-term stability problems have been met at high radiation rates attributed to substrate charging up and modifications, and ageing due to gas polymerization. To co-ordinate the research on MSGC by various groups, many of them working on tracking devices for the LHC experiments, a proposal for research on micro-strip gas chambers was submitted to the DRDC and approved by the Research Board as RD-28 on June 30, 1992. After three years of collaboration, we can consider the generic R&D on MSGCs to be essentially completed; various groups are however continuing their development in the specific environment and with the constraints of the experiments or applications making use of the new detectors. The full length of the Status Report with a full listof collaborating physicists, institutions and all references can be found in Ref. 2. Show Partial Abstract
