Abstract

In order to address the issue of future implementation of gaseous detectors due to large global warming potentials of some common detector gases, our team has developed the concept of “hybrid gaseous detectors” where part of the electron multiplication is transferred from the gas layer to a solid-state layer applied directly on the in-chamber anode surface. The concept was tested with the RPCs and was validated to relax the operating conditions considerably enabling the consideration of alternative gases and flow schemes. For the developed hybrid RPCs, Al

and TiO

were used as high secondary electron emission yield surface coatings on the anode. Afterwards, we adapted the hybrid concept to drift tubes. First tests have shown promising results. Recently, we developed hybrid RPCs with optical readout which is obtained with SiPMs directly coupled to the gas layer. Here, we report on the development of hybrid gaseous detectors and discuss future directions.

混合气体探测器的研制

为了解决由于一些常见探测器气体的全球变暖潜势较大而导致的气体探测器的未来实施问题，我们的团队开发了“混合气体探测器”的概念，其中部分电子倍增从气体层转移到直接应用于腔室阳极表面的固态层。该概念在rpc上进行了测试，并被验证可以大大放宽操作条件，从而可以考虑替代气体和流动方案。制备的杂化rpc采用Al2O3和TiO2作为阳极表面的高二次电子发射产率涂层。之后，我们将混合概念调整为漂移管。最初的测试显示出了令人鼓舞的结果。最近，我们开发了具有光学读出的混合rpc，该rpc是由sipm直接耦合到气体层获得的。在这里，我们报告了混合气体探测器的发展，并讨论了未来的方向。

期刊介绍： Section A of Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research publishes papers on design, manufacturing and performance of scientific instruments with an emphasis on large scale facilities. This includes the development of particle accelerators, ion sources, beam transport systems and target arrangements as well as the use of secondary phenomena such as synchrotron radiation and free electron lasers. It also includes all types of instrumentation for the detection and spectrometry of radiations from high energy processes and nuclear decays, as well as instrumentation for experiments at nuclear reactors. Specialized electronics for nuclear and other types of spectrometry as well as computerization of measurements and control systems in this area also find their place in the A section. Theoretical as well as experimental papers are accepted.
