“…The X-ray scanner is a 2D computer numerical control machine for scanning the entire sTGC area coupled with Amptek Mini-X X-ray tube [10] and specialized QScanner software [11] to measure the high-voltage current response from anode wires with the HV power supply. It was designed for sTGC gas gain mapping and defect search without readout electronics.…”

The gas detectors, operated under harsh radiation conditions like the one foreseen at the High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC), must fulfill a number of stringent quality control criteria. Based on high-voltage current measurements, the X-ray scanning technique has been developed for discovery of various production defects prior to the readout electronics installation. The later usually happens at the last stage of detector assembly. Thus, it allows testing the quality of the chambers, identifying defects and when possible fixing them already at early stage.

The STAR experiment at RHIC is implementing a new Forward Tracking System (FTS) which consists of a Forward Silicon Tracker (FST) and a Forward sTGC Tracker (FTT). The small-strip Thin Gap Chambers (sTGC) at STAR are designed to provide precision position measurements of about 100 μm for charged particles at high luminosity, covering the forward rapidity region (2.5 < η < 4). The extended rapidity coverage in particle tracking enables lots of physics opportunities in pp, pA and AA programs beyond 2021 at STAR . Two size sTGC prototypes have been designed and produced at Shandong University. The final designation will be finished by Feb.2020. In this paper, the sTGC prototype research and development details and some performance test results, such as detection efficiency, will be presented. Current status and future plan of the FTT upgrade will also be discussed.
