“…Cylindrical MMs have been developed for the experiment CLAS12 [52] at JLab and are now one of the options for tracking at the future Electron Ion Collider (EIC) [53]. A variety of MPGD approaches are being considered for TPC read-out at ILC: GEMs [54], MMs [55] and InGrids [56]. MM [57], GEM [58] and Resistive plate WELL (RPWELL) detectors [59] are considered as potential sensing elements in Digital Hadron Calorimetry at ILC.…”

The RD51 Collaboration, in charge of the development and dissemination of MicroPattern Gaseous Detectors (MPGD) since 2008, proposes to extend its activity, after 2018, for a further five-year term. Since the RD51 initial years, the community of MPGD developers and users has grown considerably. It is reflected by the many MPGD-based applications in high energy and nuclear physics experiments as well as in other basic and applied-research fields. They rely on the parallel progress of detector concepts and associated technologies. The cultural, infrastructure and networking support offered by RD51 has been essential in this process. The rich portfolio of MPGD projects, under constant expansion, is accompanied by novel ideas on further developments and applications.The proposed next term of RD51 activities aims at bringing a number of detector concepts to maturity, initiating new projects and continuing the support to the community. Among leading proposed projects are ultrafast, high-rate MPGDs; discharge-free, high-resolution imaging detectors with resistive elements and highgranularity integrated electronics; novel noble-liquid detector concepts, including electroluminescence in gas bubbles; studies of environment-friendly counting gases and long-term sealed-mode operation; optical-readout detectors with radiation-hard imagers for fundamental research experiments, radiography and other domains.The proposed R&D program is also expected to enrich our basic knowledge in detector physics, to form a generation of young detector experts -paving the way to new detector concepts and applications. The vast R&D program requires acquiring additional, up-to-date expertise in advanced technologies.

“…A schematic view of the GridPix detector is shown in figure 1. A specially treated pixel electronics chip (TimePix-1, [2,4]) is placed in the gas volume. The gas volume has a drift gap (the width of the gap depends on the exact detector requirements) and an electron multiplication region.…”

“…The GridPix detectors design (gas composition, drift gap, electronics) depends on the required functionality. Filled with Xe-based gas mixture, they may combine tracking and transition radiation detector properties (see [4]). In this case, the read-out electronics measures the signal amplitude in each pixel using Timeover-Threshold (ToT) information.…”

Abstract. In recent years, developments of gaseous detectors based on a combination of electron multiplication gap in the gas and pixel readout chips as a part of the anode plane (GasPixel detectors) reached a level where they can offer unique opportunities for particle detection. Transition radiation (TR) detectors based on this technology can be one of the possible applications. In this work, measurements of energy spectra and angular distributions of transition radiation photons produced by particles with different gamma factors made with a GridPix detector prototype are presented. The observed results are compared with theoretical predictions.
