The aim of this project is the search for new technologies, materials and structures, research and applications for microstructured gaseous electron detectors. The goal will be pursued in the implementation of the tasks: (1) To select technology and materials for the formation of two-dimensional arrays of a defined geometry on different bases for the electrodes of gas electron detectors; (2) Using physical methods of vapour deposition, to form electrodes of the diamond-like carbon of controlled resistance; (3) Construct a measuring stand and assess the sensitivity and stability of the gas electron detector structures created. Within the framework of this application, the scientific group will strengthen the scientific potential through the R&D activities of particle detectors and accelerators, improve the structure of the particle detector, optimize the geometric parameters of the structural elements of the detector and ensure the best electrical and mechanical properties of the resistance layer.
The project aims to develop and offer the user cost-effective solutions for the production cycles of detector components. The construction of the planned new measuring stand for a gas detector will allow an expeditious assessment of the characteristics of the detectors being developed, which will allow to use the time for the development and measurement of gas detectors more dynamically and efficiently, as well as direct cooperation with CERN.
