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 …

The working horse for the detection of photons is the photomultiplier tube (PMT) which has
been a commercial product since 1936. It is an elaborated device but still, after 70 years …

Abstract Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPMs) have emerged as leading photon detectors in
experimental physics since their introduction in the late 1990s. With performance …

We report on the properties of thick GEM-like (THGEM) electron multipliers made of 0.4 mm
thick double-sided Cu-clad G-10 plates, perforated with a dense hexagonal array of 0.3 mm …

A controlled-voltage Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) can be used to block the re-injection of
positive ions in large volume Time Projection Chambers (TPC). With proper choice of …

We review latest progress in gaseous photomultipliers (GPMs) combining solid
photocathodes and various types of novel electron multipliers. Cascaded gaseous electron …

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

Photon detectors based on micropattern gas detectors represent a new generation of
gaseous photon detectors. In the context of a project to upgrade the gas photon detectors of …

Fine-pitch gas electron multiplier (GEM) foils have been produced for cosmic X-ray
polarimeters using a carbon dioxide laser etching technique. The finest hole pitch of the foil …

The needs of experiments in high-energy physics have been for many decades the stimulus
