Thick GEM-like (THGEM) gaseous electron multipliers are made of standard printed-circuit
board perforated with sub-millimeter diameter holes, etched at their rims. Effective gas …

Many nuclear structure studies are presently performed with secondary radioactive beams to
explore the nuclear chart far from stability. This entails a large decrease of available …

Modern position-sensitive fast gaseous detectors, developed primarily to satisfy the needs of
particle physics experiments, have been tailored by many research groups for the use in …

Remarkable features of gas electron multipliers (GEMs) make them attractive for numerous
applications in high-energy physics, nuclear physics, astrophysics, and the medical-imaging …

The search for alternatives to PMTs as photosensors in optical TPCs for rare event detection
has significantly increased in the last few years. In particular, in view of the next generation …

In gaseous photomultipliers, avalanche generated ions back-flowing to the photocathode
can drastically limit the detector operation and lifetime. This is especially the case for …

In this work, we present a novel application of the full-field energy-dispersive X-ray
fluorescence (EDXRF) imaging system based on a MicroPattern Gaseous Detector (2D …

Efforts are being made in direct Dark Matter search experiments to detect the primary
ionisation in the liquid by extracting the electrons to the gas phase and use the secondary …

Abstract The simulation of Micro Pattern Gaseous Detectors (MPGDs) signal response is an
important and powerful tool for the design and optimization of such detectors. However …

We report on avalanche-ion back-flow measurements in the novel Micro-Hole and Strip-
Plate (MHSP) multiplier and in gaseous photomultipliers comprising Gas Electron Multipliers …
