Microstructured gas detector
Micro-structured gas detectors ( MPGD for short , from English micro-pattern gas detector ) are particle detectors with the help of which the traces of charged particles are measured in experiments in high-energy physics . As a further development of the multi- wire chamber , MPGDs also use gas ionization to detect the passage of particles and gas amplification in order to obtain a readable electrical signal. The wires of the multi-wire chamber are replaced by finer structures in MPGDs (typical structure size less than 100 µm), which means that significantly improved spatial resolutions can be achieved in comparison (also less than 100 µm). Examples of microstructured gas detectors are GEM detectors and MicroMegas detectors.
