The PICOSEC Micromegas detector is a~precise-timing gaseous detector based on a~Cherenkov radiator coupled with a~semi-transparent photocathode and a~Micromegas amplifying structure, targeting a~time resolution of tens of picoseconds for minimum ionising particles. Initial single-pad prototypes have demonstrated a~time resolution below 25 ps, prompting ongoing developments to adapt the concept for High Energy Physics applications, where sub-nanosecond precision is essential for event separation, improved track reconstruction and particle identification.

The PICOSEC Micromegas (MM) detector is a precise timing gaseous detector based on a MM detector operating in a two-stage amplification mode and a Cherenkov radiator. Prototypes equipped with cesium iodide (CsI) photocathodes have shown promising time resolutions as precise as 24 picoseconds (ps) for Minimum Ionizing Particles. [...]

Spatial resolution improvements with finer-pitch GEMs
/ Flöthner, K.J. (CERN ; Bonn U., HISKP) ; Scharenberg, L. (CERN) ; Brask, A. (Aarhus U. (main) ; CERN) ; Brunbauer, F. (CERN) ; Garcia, F. (Helsinki Inst. of Phys.) ; Janssens, D. (CERN) ; Ketzer, B. (Bonn U., HISKP) ; Lisowska, M. (CERN ; U. Paris-Saclay) ; Muller, H. (CERN ; Bonn U.) ; Oliveri, E. (CERN) et al.
Gas Electron Multipliers (GEMs) are used in many particle physics experiments, employing their 'standard' configuration with amplification holes of 140 um pitch in a hexagonal pattern. However, the collection of the charge cloud from the primary ionisation electrons from the drift region of the detector into the GEM holes affects the position information from the initial interacting particle.

Micro-Pattern Gaseous Detectors (MPGDs) with resistive anode planes provide intrinsic discharge robustness while maintaining good spatial and time resolutions. Typically read out with 1D strips or pad structures, here the characterisation results of resistive anode plane MPGDs with 2D strip readout are presented. [...]

Tech., Genoa) ; Oliveri, E (CERN) et al.
To enhance the performance of micro-patterned gaseous detectors (MPGDs) to meet thechallenging requirements of future high energy physics (HEP) experiments, two-dimensional (2D)materials are attractive candidates to address the back flow of positive ions, which affectsdetector performance by distorting electric field lines. In this context, graphene is promisingto work as selective filter for ion back flow suppression, being transparent to electrons while atthe same time blocking ions. [...]

The RD51 collaboration developed the Scalable Readout System (SRS) as part of its R&D; activities on Micro-Pattern Gaseous Detectors. This common multi-purpose readout system allows to read out small R&D; detectors (0.2k channels) up to mid-sized experiments with multiple detectors (2.5k to 5k channels). [...]

The XYU-GEM: Ambiguity-free coordinate readout of the Gas Electron Multiplier
/ Flöthner, K J (CERN ; Bonn U., HISKP) ; Janssens, D (CERN ; Brussels U., IIHE ; Vrije U., Brussels) ; Brunbauer, F (CERN) ; Ferry, S (CERN) ; Ketzer, B (Bonn U., HISKP) ; Lisowska, M (CERN ; IRFU, Saclay) ; Muller, H (CERN ; Bonn U.) ; de Oliveira, R (CERN) ; Oliveri, E (CERN) ; Orlandini, G (CERN ; Erlangen - Nuremberg U.) et al.
We describe the development of a position-sensitive Gas Electron Multiplier detector prototype, providing for each ionizing event three coordinates: the cartesian X and Y, and U at 45°. Simultaneous recording of the three projections permits ambiguity-free reconstruction of multiple tracks, and aims at operation in very high intensity radiation fields..
