The RD51 collaboration was founded in April 2008 to coordinate and facilitate efforts for development of micropattern gaseous detectors (MPGDS). The 75 institutes from 25 countries bundle their effort, experience and resources to develop these emerging micropattern technologies. MPGDS are already employed in several nuclear and high-energy physics experiments, medical imaging instruments and photodetection...
India-based Neutrino Observatory (INO) collaboration has proposed a 50 kTons magnetised iron calorimeter (ICAL), whose primary goals are to precisely determine oscillation parameters of the atmospheric neutrinos, to study matter effects on the oscillations and finally to use it as a long baseline detector for the neutrino beams. Good tracking and energy resolutions, good directionality (translating...
The Nuclear Compton Telescope (NCT) is a balloon-borne soft gamma ray (0.2-10 MeV) telescope designed to study astrophysical sources of nuclear line emission and polarization. The heart of NCT is an array of 12 cross-strip germanium detectors, designed to provide 3D positions for each photon interaction with full 3D position resolution to < 2 mm3. Tracking individual interactions enables Compton...
In a strip detector the absorption of energy occurs in a long strip, whereas the readout provides by two detectors positioned at the ends of the strip. Accuracy of coordinate estimation or position resolution is the crucial characteristic for using strip detectors for tracking and imaging. It is obvious, that the position resolution is closely connected with the energy resolution of detectors. In...
