Gas versus Si (or Gossip versus Si detectors)
Pro:- no radiation damage in sensor: gas is exchanged- modest pixel (analog) input circuitry: low power, little space- no bias current: simple input circuit- low detector material budget: 0.06 % radiation length/layer
typical: Si foil. New mechanical concepts- low power dissipation : little FE power (2 μW/pixel); no bias dissipation- operates at room temperature (but other temperatures are OK)- less sensitive for neutron and X-ray background- 3D track info per layer if drift time is measured- gas is cheap (and very cheap wrt. Si sensors!), and light- single (free drifting) electron sensitive
Con:- Gaseous chamber: discharges (sparks): destroy CMOS chip- gas-filled proportional chamber: ‘chamber ageing’- limit in spatial resolution due to low primary gas-particle
interaction statistics- Needs gas flow- Parallax error: 1 ns drift time measurement may be required- diffusion of (drifting) electrons in gas limits spatial resolution

ATLAS:
“The baseline ATLAS inner tracker upgrade is an all silicon detector. New technologies such as GridPix and the Gossip version of it could become an alternative sensor technology to pursue for part of the detector. They would only be adopted in case of major performance or cost advantages over silicon technology, or if technical issues are found in the silicon projects in the next 2-3 years. The EB has considered the Gossip R&D proposal, and supports this R&D for a limited duration of 3 years to demonstrate and quantify performance, cost and reliability. In 2013, ATLAS will review the results and consider if there are sufficient elements for further pursuance of this technology for ATLAS”

Results:
- TimePix functions well in LAr temperature (-180 C)
- In pure Argon, gas gain is limited to ~ 10. Confirmed by other (GEM & TGEM tests)
UV light avalancje propagation?
Needs to be understood: simulations. A gain of 300 would be sufficient.
GEMGrid?
- InGrid collapses at low temperature, due to differences in thermal expansion
of InGrid materials (epoxy, aluminium, Si).
Requires all-ceramic GridPix: also good for outgassing.

Reduce size of dynodes (volume downscaling):
- keep potentials as they were (Vstep ~ 200 V)
- (non relativistic) electron trajectories same
form, but smaller (volume)
- multiplication yield: identical
- 1st dynode: focussing, yield
- pixel input source capacity: only ~ 10 fF

For tracking of fast charged particles (MIPS):
Replace photocathode by Electron Emission Membrane
electron emission membrane
aluminium foil:
- at least 1 electron is emitted in 4 % of the cases
- energy of electron: 0 – 5 eV
- probability depends on surface condition
- increase to 6 % if layer of AlOxide is present
Emits (at least one) electron at the
crossing point of membrane surface
and MIP, with a high probability

MIP
Possible improvements in electron emission efficiency:
- low work function (CsI, bi-alkali, CVDiamond)
- surface treatment: CVDiamond, nanotubes, fractals
- Extracting electric field
Try to develop membrane with 50 – 95 % efficiency!

Skin effect: only skin of ~ 50 nm participates in EE.
Rise of EE efficiency by surface enlargement: meandering, modulating, roughening
2nd order modulation, 3rd order..…fractals!
Extracting E-field: constant at surface

- Eff Alu, Cu: ~ 4 %
- Eff ceramics (Diamond, CsI, Si3N4): 10 - 20 %?
