Thick GEM versus thin GEM in two-phase argon avalanche detectors
The performance of thick GEMs (THGEMs) was compared to that of thin GEMs in two-phase Ar avalanche detectors, in view of their potential application in coherent neutrino-nucleus scattering, dark-matter search and in other rare-event experiments. The detectors comprised a 1 cm thick liquid-Ar layer followed by either a double-THGEM or a triple-GEM multiplier, operated in the saturated vapor abov...

متن کاملStudies of Electron Avalanche Behavior in Liquid Argon
Electron avalanching in liquid argon is being studied as a function of voltage, pressure, radiation intensity, and the concentrations of certain additives, especially xenon. The avalanches produced in an intense electric field at the tip of a tungsten needle are initiated by ionization from a movable americium (Am) gamma-ray source. Photons from xenon excimers are detected as photomultiplier si...
متن کاملAdvances in gas avalanche radiation detectors for biomedical applications
Gas avalanche detectors are instruments of choice for radiation detection and localization in numerous "elds of basic and applied research. Recent advances in detection techniques, involving multiplication and detection of single or a few charges deposited in gas media, or emitted from solid converters into gas, are described. The properties of radiation converters and associated advanced gas m...
متن کاملIII-Nitride Based Avalanche Photo Detectors
Research into III-Nitride based avalanche photodiodes (APDs) is motivated by the need for high sensitivity ultraviolet (UV) detectors in numerous civilian and military applications. By designing III-Nitride photodetectors that utilize low-noise impact ionization high internal gain can be realized—GaN APDs operating in Geiger mode can achieve gains exceeding 1×10. Thus with careful design, it be...
