RD 51 Collaboration News LeszekRopelewski (CERN), Maxim Titov (CEA Saclay) 80 RD51 Member Institutes; ~ 450 Participants 10th RD51 Collaboration Meeting, Stony Brook, USA, October 1-4, 2012
RD 51 Collaboration Organization Consolidation around common projects: large area MPGD R&D, CERN/MPGD production facility, common electronics developments, software tools, beam tests Large area (MM, GEM, THGEM) Design optimization (e.g. THGEM, Resistive MM) “RD51 Common Projects” (Generic R&D) WG2: WG1: WG5: MPGD SRS Electronics Software and Simulation RD51 WG4: WG6: WG7: RD51 Common Test Beam Facility CERN MPGD Workshop & Industrialization
RD51 LHCC Review LHCC Committee, Draft Minutes (CERN/LHCC-2012/008) • RD51 Report in the LHCC Open Session on June 13, 2012 • http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=194183 The continuation of the access to the CERN MPGD Workshop with associate manpower in support of technical maintenance and further development of MPGD technologies
PMT participation in RD51 • WG1 :R&D on new structures, PMT have introduce: • Bulk Micromega ( with Saclay collaboration) • Resistive protections (with Atlas Collaboration) • Large GEM (with CERN GDD/CMS/INFN Frascati/TUM Munich …) • GEM embedded stretching system (PMT) • WG5: electronics • Layout (design office Betty) • Prototype production • Subcontracting advice and companies visits (fine pitch and Chip on board) • WG6 :Industrialisation • Companies visits (more than 10) • TT transfer with selected companies • Institutes trainings • 2 Conveners (Fabio and Rui)
CERN/ PMT Patents • Large size GEM • Chemical micro-vias • Resistive protections • Special capacitive couplings to reduce electronic channel count in gas detectors • Piggy Back Micromegas • Micro BULK Micromegas • PG and TPG thermal management devices (sold to Queen Mary college)
Scientific Publications • More than 40 publications as co/Authors on the following subjects: • First Bulk Micromegas • CMS High Eta • Piggy back • Micro Bulk • Resistive protections • Rare event detectors, Low background • Neutron detectors • Large area GEM • Spherical GEM • Cylindrical GEM detectors • Cast experiment • Compass experiment • Thermal management devices • Low Mass thermal management device • Chemical micro-vias • 2D read-outs for gas detectors • FGLD detectors • UV to Visible Wave length shifter (ArDM) (in construction) • Flex Embedded silicon (in construction)
Formal Trainings • GEM production training: • Techtra 2 weeks (Polish institute) • Xiaomei Li (CIAE Beijing) 1 week next February • Micromegas production training: • CEA Saclay (BULK and resistive protection) many iterations @CERN • CEA Saclay : BULK facility review @ Saclay • CIREA and ELTOS (BULK and resistive) 2 Days @ CERN + 2 days @ ELTOS • INFN Frascati (Large Micromegas detector) 2 months @CERN • THGEM production • VECC KolKata (polyurethane protection) 1 day @CERN • Weissmann institute Israel (test and Cleaning) 2 days @CERN • Spray solder mask deposition • Cirly one day @CERN
Technical students projects • Embedded active silicon devices (Kim-Eigard Hines) • Low mass detectors • MHSP detectors (MafaldaMacatrao) • Low Ion Feed Back detectors • Chemical Microvias (Victor Da Silva) • General High density circuits • Self stretching Triple GEM detectors (Christian Waltz) • CMS High Eta Muon Chamber upgrade • Spark study (CosimoCantini) • Improve THGEM immunity to sparks • ATLAS Muon Chamber upgrade • Optimisation of resistive layers in MM detectors (Silvia Franchino) • For Higher rate detector applications
Projects FP7 , AIDA • PMT was involved in an FP7 project in collaboration with 7 institutes , for the development of large size GEMs • Part of the R&D on large size GEM have been financed by this program • PMT is involved now in the AIDA program for consolidation of Detector infrastructures • Aida contribution consist in financing the salary of one fellow during 2 years • The task is to set up all machines needed for prototyping large size detector • 9 machines have been bought , 6 are running (total budget 785 KCHF) • The installation of the 3 last ones needs a 1 week stop of the whole activity (we are now looking for the best opportunity). The R&D on large detectors will not be stopped.
