| Preliminary scope of work |
| - COMPASS experiment at CERN
- RICH detector - currently installed detector Cherenkov light detectors - before upgrade - upgrade motivation - limitations of MWPC - why we want to upgrade MWPC to THGEM - short introduction of THGEM detectors - characterization of THGEM ( dependencies on parameters like thickness, pitch, hole diameter, rim,...) - tests which have been used - photon detection by THGEM - extraction of photoelectrons - results - TEST BEAM in 2010 |
