Recent advances in photolithography and micro processing techniques have enabled the emergence of Micro Pattern Gaseous Detectors (MPGDs) such as Gas Electron Multipliers (GEMs) or Micro Mesh Gaseous Structures (Micromegas) and many other more recent technologies. These new technologies combine the gas amplification principle of gaseous detectors with micro-structure printed circuits...

In December 2018 the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) entered the LS2 phase (Long Shutdown 2), which will last until beginning of 2021: in this period a maintainance program of LHC and of the other smaller accelerators is scheduled. In 2017 and during the whole 2018 LHC has reached the record beam luminosity 2 x 10^34 cm^-2 s^-1, around a factor of 2 beyond the LHC design.
To cope with this and...

The ATLAS collaboration at LHC has chosenthe resistive Micromegas technology, along with the small-strip Thin Gap Chambers (sTGC), for the high luminosity upgrade of the first muon station in the high-rapidity region, the so called New Small Wheel (NSW) project. After the R&D, design and prototyping phase, the series production Micromegas quadruplets are being constructed ...

An imaging hadron calorimeter with digital readout (DHCAL) using the micro-pattern gaseous detector (MPGD) technology is one of the hadron calorimeter options for the Circular Electron Positron Collider (CEPC). The sensitive detector of the CEPC DHCAL is required to be compact and highly efficient for MIPs with low number of hits per MIP track (hit multiplicity). GEM and WELL-THGEM detectors...

CERN Micro Pattern Technologies workshop (CERN EP/DT/EF) is currently involved in one MPGD R&D project: “Study of resistive
materials for MPGD protection”, this study is conduct in the framework of RD51 collaboration. A group of four institutes has been
raised (Kobe, INFN Frascati, China and CERN) to address all the different aspects of this topic. The role of CERN MPT workshop in
the group...

In view of the J-PARC program of upgrades of the beam intensity, the T2K collaboration is preparing towards an increase of the exposure aimed at establishing leptonic CP violation at 3 $\sigma$ level for a significant fraction of the possible $\delta_{CP}$ values. To reach this goal, an upgrade of the T2K near detector ND280 has been launched, with the aim of reducing the overall statistical...

The micro-Resistive-WELL (μ-RWELL) is a compact, simple and robust Micro-Pattern Gaseous Detector (MPGD) developed for large area HEP applications requiring the operation in harsh environment.
The detector amplification stage, similar to a GEM foil, is realized with a polyimide structure micro-patterned with a blind-hole matrix, embedded through a thin Diamond Like Carbon (DLC) resistive...

The developments in particle and nuclear physics experiments show four main requirements on the performance of gaseous detectors: large area coverage, high rate capability, excellent time resolution and good spatial resolution. As consequence new requirements for the readout electronics are defined.
In the particular case of the ATLAS New Small Wheel Upgrade, the VMM3a ASIC has been...

BESIII (Beijing Spectrometer III) is a multipurpose spectrometer optimized
for physics in the tau-charm energy region. Both detector and accelerator
are undergoing an upgrade program, that will allow BESIII to run until
2029.
A major upgrade is the replacement of the inner drift chamber with a new
detector based on Cylindrical Gas Electron Multipliers to improve both the
secondary...

Baryonic Matter at Nuclotron (BM@N) is a fixed target experiment at the NICA accelerator complex (JINR) aiming at studies
of nuclear matter in relativistic heavy ion collisions. Triple GEM (Gas electron multiplier) detectors have been identified as
suitable for the BM@N central tracking system, which is located inside the analyzing magnet. A cathode strip chamber (CSC) is mounted
outside...
