C-3: Tracking detectors

A cooling plate has been realized using Aluminum additive manufacturing. It was tested at DESY using a TRACI closed-loop $CO_2$ compressor ensuring a circulation of 2-phase $CO_2$ under a pressure of 60 bars at a temperature of 19 degrees in a Micromegas TPC readout module.
The temperature of the front-end readout cards was continuously monitored for several days using 6 probes. This system...
A new readout scheme allowing the exploitation of Resistive Plate Chamber (RPC) spatial precision and using a limited number of electronic channels is proposed. The new scheme which exploits the spread of the RPC induced charge on several adjacent inter-connected pads, allows the simultaneous detection of several particles without ambiguity.
In this scheme, pads are connected in rows...
We have developed a gaseous pixel detector based on four Timepix3 chips that can serve as a building block for a large detector plane. To provide the required gas amplification a fine grid has been deposited on the chip surface by wafer post-processing (GridPix technology). The precisely aligned grid holes and chip pixels having a pitch of 55 µm and the high time resolution of 1.56 ns of the...
In order to understand the spatial resolution in time direction (z resolution), we are investigating factors that can affect z resolution. Hit position in the z direction is determined by pulse arrival timing and hence depends on the pulse shape. We studied the dependence of the pulse shape on drift distance and magnetic field.
In this talk, we will report the preliminary results from this study.
