Micro-TPC, a time projection chamber(TPC) with micro pixel chamber($\mu$-PIC) readout was developed for the detection of the three-dimensional fine(sub-m illimeter) tracks of charged particles. We developed a two-dimensional position…

The T2K near-detector, ND280, employs three large argon gas TPCs (Time Projection Chambers) for particle tracking and identification. The gas inside the TPCs can be used as an active target to study the neutrino interactions in great…

In this paper, the design and the performance of a prototype detector based on MicroMegas technology with two detection planes in a common gas volume is discussed. The detector is suited for the forward region of LHC detectors, addressing…

The use of Time Projection Chambers (TPCs) in particle physics experiments has been growing since their invention, reaching sizes equivalent to buildings (ALICE or ATLAS at CERN). However, their application in another class of experiments,…

We have previously reported on the construction and successful operation of the novel double phase Liquid Argon Large Electron Multiplier Time Projection Chamber (LAr LEM-TPC). This detector concept provides a 3D-tracking and calorimetric…

Gamma-Beams at the HIgS facility in the USA and anticipated at the ELI-NP facility, now constructed in Romania, present unique new opportunities to advance research in nuclear astrophysics; not the least of which is resolving open questions…

Gaseous detectors have long been used by particle physics experiments at beamlines or standalone experiments. Recently, their low momentum threshold has made them interesting as active targets for long baseline neutrino experiments. To…

A Micromegas-based active-target detector named SAT-TPC (Saha Active Target TPC) has been designed and fabricated at the Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics. The SAT-TPC was tested with Ar-CO2 (90:10) and Ar-iC4H10 (95:5) at atmospheric…

An important issue for rare-event-search experiments, such as the search for dark matter or neutrinoless double beta decay, is to reduce radioactivity of the detector materials and the experimental environment. The selection of materials…

Micromesh Gas Amplification Structures (Micromegas) are being used in an increasing number of Particle Physics applications since their conception fourteen years ago. More recently, they are being used or considered as readout of Time…

We report the calibration of a gaseous Time Projection Chamber based on Micromegas charge readout modules with cosmic ray muons, utilizing their penetrating power and relatively uniform energy deposition per unit length. Muon events were…

T2K is a long baseline neutrino experiment, entering Phase II with a Near Detector upgrade. The T2K near detector (ND280) upgrade consists of the installation of three new detector systems: a plastic scintillator neutrino active target…

In view of a possible application as a charge-particle track readout for an Active-Target Time Projection Chamber (AT-TPC), the operational properties and performances of a hybrid Micro-Pattern Gaseous Detector (MPGD) were investigated in…

Micromegas is one of the detector technologies (along with the small Thin Gap Chambers) that has been chosen for precision tracking and triggering purposes of the ATLAS muon forward detectors in the view of LHC luminosity increase. To…

There are several proposals and projects today for building LXe Time Projection Chambers (TPCs) for dark matter search. An important element of these TPCs are the photomultipliers operating either inside LXe or in vapors above the liquid.…

Gaseous detectors with sense wires are still in use today in small experiments as well as modern ones as those at the LHC. This short note is about the construction of a small wire chamber with limited resources, which could be used both as…

Micromesh Gas Structures (Micromegas) as readout of gaseous Time Projection Chambers (TPCs) are being considered in experiments investigating rare phenomena, like the nuclear double beta decay, solar axion detection and low-mass dark matter…
