文摘

We have developed a cost-effective technology for manufacturing various layouts of micropattern gaseous detectors for a wide range of applications. Such devices feature resistive electrodes interfaced to a network of thin readout strips/electrodes. The following three examples of such innovative designs and their applications will be presented: a prototype of a novel double-phase liquid argon detector with a CsI photocathode immersed inside the liquid argon, a CsI-RICH detector prototype for the ALICE upgrade and GEM-like sensors for environmental safety/security applications.
