New Directions in Micropattern Gaseous Detector Technologies — •Philip Hauer — Helmholtz-Institut für Strahlen- und Kernphysik, Universität Bonn — Forschungs- und Technologiezentrum Detektorphysik, Universität Bonn

Micropattern Gaseous Detectors (MPGDs) have become a cornerstone technology in modern particle, hadron, and nuclear physics experiments, providing charged-particle tracking over large areas with high spatial resolution, exceptional rate capability, and a minimal material budget. The next generation of experiments demands even greater performance regarding high-rate and low material budget.

This talk will review the research and development activities driving this evolution. A crucial step is to further improve on the amplification stage by using novel approaches including optimized geometries or advanced materials. Concurrently, the research path extends beyond these core advancements to address systemic challenges. This includes the development of stable high-voltage powering schemes for large-area detectors, and the design of highly integrated, radiation-tolerant readout electronics.

This talk reviews recent advancements and directions in MPGD technologies. The practical realization will be illustrated through their implementation in exemplary current detectors and their role in the design of upcoming experiments, underlining how continued MPGD innovation is essential to unlock the physics potential of future experiments.
