Abstract The Thick Gas Electron Multiplier (THGEM) is a robust high-gain gas-avalanche
electron multiplier–a building block of a variety of radiation detectors. It can be manufactured …

Micromegas (MICRO-MEsh GAseous Structure) detectors have found common use in
different applications since their development in 1996 by the group of I. Giomataris and G …

A new concept for a hybrid structure gaseous detector module with ion backflow
suppression for the time projection chamber in a future circular collider is presented. It is a …

A fast, hydrodynamic numerical model has been developed on the COMSOL Multiphysics
platform to simulate the evolution and dynamics of charged particles in gaseous ionization …

We describe a new micro-pattern gas detector structure comprising a multi-layer hole-type
multiplier (M-THGEM) combined with two in-built electrode meshes: the Multi-Mesh THGEM …

Micro-pattern gaseous detectors with very low ion-backflow (IBF) provide cost-effective
solutions to large-area and position-sensitive photon detection and readouts of high-rate …

A new experimental system was recently developed to measure the mobility of both positive
and negative ions: the Dual-Polarity Ion Drift Chamber (DP-IDC). In this work, we present a …

Ion backflow is one of the effects limiting the operation of a gaseous detector at high flux, by
giving rise to space charge which perturbs the electric field. The natural ability of bulk …

Low-energy antiprotons can be used as a probe to study the proton and neutron content of
the nuclear density tail. Towards the neutron drip line, this region is characterized by the …

While converging observations motivate the existence of a dark matter accounting for 84% of
the mass of the universe, the nature of such a particle remains unknown and extensive …
