Micropattern Gaseous Detector School

Join Our Hands-On Course "Building and Simulating a Gaseous Detector with GEMs"

As part of the Terascale Detector Workshop, we invite you to participate in an interactive hands-on course designed to explore the construction, operation and simulation of a gaseous detector based on GEM (Gas Electron Multiplier) foils.

What You’ll Learn:

  • Assembly: Gain practical experience in assembling a GEM-based gaseous detector, including its components and functionality.
  • Operation: Use and operate the assembled detector in a small lab setup and measure first signals with your detector.
  • Detector Simulation: Learn how to simulate the performance of your detector using special software tools (Garfield++) to analyze and optimize its behavior.

 

The school starts on Monday, March 17th at 10:00. If you are interested in joining, please indicate this during the registration process.
