TL;DR: The LHCb experiment is dedicated to precision measurements of CP violation and rare decays of B hadrons at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN (Geneva).

TL;DR: In this article, a large-scale gaseous detector of single photons is proposed based on the use of a multilayer architecture of THGEM electron multipliers coupled to a solid state CsI photocathode.

TL;DR: In this article, a single mask photolithography approach was proposed to eliminate the mask alignment issue, which limits the dimensions in the traditional double mask process, and a splicing technique overcomes the limited width of the raw material.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors report on the activity of CERN and INFN-LNF groups on the development of large area GEM detectors using a single-mask technology allowing foils to be made as large as 450 × 2000 mm 2.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compare results of the measurements and the simulations, with and without the introduction of the charging-up effect, of the GEM electron transparency in the case of a single GEM detector.
