Bulk micromegas detectors for large TPC applications

2007

A large volume TPC will be used in the near future in a variety of experiments including T2K. The bulk Micromegas detector for this TPC is built using a novel production technique particularly suited for compact and robust low mass detectors. The capability to pave a large surface with a simple mounting solution and small dead space between modules is of particular interest for these applications. We have buil t several large bulk Micromegas detectors (27x26 cm 2 ) and we have tested them in the former HARP field cage setup wit h a magnetic field. Cosmic ray data have been acquired in a variet y of experimental conditions. Good detector performances and space point resolution have been achi…

ANTARES: The first undersea neutrino telescope

2011

The ANTARES Neutrino Telescope was completed in May 2008 and is the first operational Neutrino Telescope in the Mediterranean Sea. The main purpose of the detector is to perform neutrino astronomy and the apparatus also offers facilities for marine and Earth sciences. This paper describes the design, the construction and the installation of the telescope in the deep sea, offshore from Toulon in France. An illustration of the detector performance is given. © 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
