Results From a Prototype Combination TPC Cherenkov Detector With GEM Readout

Journal Article Azmoun, B. ; Dehmelt, K. ; Hemmick, T. K. ; ... - IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science

A combined time projection chamber-Cherenkov (TPCC) prototype detector has been developed as part of the detector research and development program for a future electron-ion collider (E!C). The prototype was tested at the Fermilab test beam facility (FTBF) to provide a proof of the principle to demonstrate the ability to measure particle tracks and provide particle identification (P!D) information within a common detector volume. The time projection chamber (TPC) portion consists of a 10 × 10 × 10 cm³ field cage, which delivers charge from tracks to a quadruple gas electron multiplier (GEM) with zigzag-shaped charge collection anodes. The Cherenkov portionmore »« less

A GEM readout with radial zigzag strips and linear charge-sharing response

Journal Article Zhang, Aiwu ; Hohlmann, Marcus ; Azmoun, Babak ; ... - Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research. Section A, Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment

Here, we study the position sensitivity of radial zigzag strips intended to read out large GEM detectors for tracking at future experiments. Zigzag strips can cover a readout area with fewer strips than regular straight strips while maintaining good spatial resolution. Consequently, they can reduce the number of required electronic channels and related cost for large-area GEM detector systems. A non-linear relation between incident particle position and hit position measured from charge sharing among zigzag strips was observed in a previous study. We significantly reduce this non-linearity by improving the interleaving of adjacent physical zigzag strips. Zigzag readout structures aremore »« less

A Comparative Study of Straight-Strip and Zigzag-Interleaved Anode Patterns for MPGD Readouts

Journal Article Perez-Lara, C. ; Aune, S. ; Azmoun, B. ; ... - IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science

Due to their simplicity and versatility of design, straight strip or rectangular pad anode structures are frequently employed with micro-pattern gas detectors to reconstruct high precision space points for various tracking applications. The particle impact point is typically determined by interpolating the charge collected by several neighboring strips. However, to effectively extract the inherent positional information, the lateral spacing of the straight strips must be comparable to or preferably smaller than the full extent of the incident charge cloud. In contrast, highly interleaved anode patterns, such as zigzags, can adequately sample the incident charge with a pitch appreciably larger thanmore » the charge cloud.« less

3D reconstruction of nuclear reactions using GEM TPC with planar readout

Journal Article Bihałowicz, Jan Stefan - AIP Conference Proceedings

The research program of the Extreme Light Infrastructure – Nuclear Physics (ELI-NP) laboratory under construction in Magurele, Romania facilities the need of developing a gaseous active-target detector providing 3D reconstruction of charged products of nuclear reactions induced by gamma beam. The monoenergetic, high-energy (E{sub γ} > 19 MeV) gamma beam of intensity 10{sup 13}γ/s allows studying nuclear reactions in astrophysics. A Time Projection Chamber with crossed strip readout (eTPC) is proposed as one of the imaging detectors. The special feature of the readout electrode structure is a 2D reconstruction based on the information read out simultaneously from three arrays ofmore »« less

Readout of TPC Tracking Chambers with GEMs and Pixel Chip

Journal Article Kadyk, John ; Kim, T ; Freytsis, M ; ... - Nuclear Instruments and Methods A

Two layers of GEMs and the ATLAS Pixel Chip, FEI3, have been combined and tested as a prototype for Time Projection Chamber (TPC) readout at the International Linear Collider (ILC). The double-layer GEM system amplifies charge with gain sufficient to detect all track ionization. The suitability of three gas mixtures for this application was investigated, and gain measurements are presented. A large sample of cosmic ray tracks was reconstructed in 3D by using the simultaneous timing and 2D spatial information from the pixel chip. The chip provides pixel charge measurement as well as timing. These results demonstrate that a doublemore »« less
