The Resistive Plate WELL detector as a single stage Thick Gaseous Multiplier detector — Shikma Bressler1, Amos Breskin1, Luca Moleri1, •Simon Kudella2, Ashwini Kumar1 und Michael Pitt1 — 1Department of Particle Physics and Astrophysics, Weizmann Institute of Science (WIS) — 2Institut für Experimentelle Kernphysik (IEKP), KIT
Gaseous Electron Multiplier (GEM) detector use high electric fields inside the hole of a foil to achieve a high charge multiplication. As a thicker version of GEMs based on printed circuit board (PCB) structures, Thick Gaseous Electron Multiplier (THGEM) detectors combine the high gain of a GEM foil with the robustness, stability and low production costs of a PCB and allow a large quantity of applications that require the coverage of a large area at low cost and moderate spatial resolution. One application the Weizmann Institute of Science (WIS) develops as a member of the RD51 framework is the Resistive Plate WELL (RPWELL) detector. This single stage detector allows a very stable, discharge free operation at high gain (105). The single stage operation allows a low total height and makes the RPWELL a candidate for the Digital Hadronic Calorimeter (DHCAL) of the International Large Detector (ILD) at the International Linear Collider (ILC). The talk gives an insight into the way the RPWELL works and shows results from the last test beam.
