RD 51 & CERN Workshop Upgrade

CERN, November 6, 2009

1) Current: CERN-DEM is the UNIQUE MPGD production facility (generic R&D, detector components production, quality control)

2) Future MPGD R&D: Long-term planning and reinforcement of CERN-DEM workshop infrastructure is crucial to advance large-area MPGD(including large-area MPGD R&D, production of demonstrators)

Bigger sizes(continuation

of MPGD R&D)

New equipment New premises

GEM, Micromegas, THGEM+ personal

+ infrastructure

3) Technology Industrialization transfer “know-how” from CERN workshop to industrial partners for MASS PRODUCTION

• Cost : ~ 1.5 MCHF (for 3 technologies) – no infrastructure cost• Different machines are needed for GEM, Micromegas & Thick-GEM

in larger size detectors and continuation of the MPGD R&D:

No direct funds are available within the RD51 collaborating institutes

Within the CERN Workshop Upgrade we would like to ask to support:

• Secure space & infrastructure for large machinery• Financial Support from CERN for new machinery

9500

RD51-TTN

RD51

RD51 institute related activities

9.1.2 RD51- Gaseous Detectors

Need contribution from CERN for machinery purchase

Support 2 for technologies (GEM, Micromegas) within AIDA

9.1.1 A facility for a large TPC and Gridpix/GOSSIP characterization at DESY

9.1.2 Infrastructure for the production of large-area MPGD

Asking AIDA for contribution to purchase of new machinery
