MICROMEGAS TRACKERS FOR HADRONIC PHYSICS
View through CrossRef
Modern experiments in hadronic physics require excellent detection and tracking capabilities in very high flux environment. Probing the quark and gluon content of the nucleon indeed necessitates semi-inclusive or exclusive reactions with very small cross-sections. Micromegas detectors have therefore been rapidly identified as natural candidates to equip the hottest region of the COMPASS spectrometer at CERN. Benefitting from several years of smooth operation at COMPASS, the Micromegas have been proposed to equip the future central tracker of the CLAS12 experiment at the Jefferson Laboratory. This project triggered an important R&D on the bulk and resistive technologies and inspired several projects involving cylindrical trackers. This paper focuses on the design and performance of the COMPASS and CLAS12 Micromegas, and reviews the R&D made on the discharge reduction in large hadron fluxes.
