A kutatási téma leírása:
Gaseous detectors were invented in the 1970-ies, with multi-wire proportional chambers initiating the „electronic detector” era of particle physics, replacing bubble and streamer chambers. In the last decades, a new class of gaseous tracking detectors, generally known as „micro-pattern gaseous detectors”, open new technological possibilities. Leading high energy physics instrumentation apply these, including GEM foils. The aim of the project is to understand the fundamental physics principles of detection and signal formation, and evaluating their properties from the point of view of applying in high speed, high volume tracking detector systems. Gaseous tracking detectors find various applications such as cosmic muon imaging and neutron detection, subjects which may be explored within the scope of the project.
