/ Allard, J. (IRFU, Saclay) ; Andari, N. (IRFU, Saclay) ; Anfreville, M. (IRFU, Saclay) ; Attié, D. (IRFU, Saclay) ; Aubernon, E. (IRFU, Saclay) ; Aune, S. (IRFU, Saclay) ; Bachacou, H. (IRFU, Saclay) ; Balli, F. (IRFU, Saclay) ; Bauer, F. (IRFU, Saclay) ; Beltramelli, J. (IRFU, Saclay) et al.
The steadily increasing luminosity of the LHC requires an upgrade with high-rate and high-resolution detector technology for the inner end cap of the ATLAS muon spectrometer: the New Small Wheels (NSW). In order to achieve the goal of precision tracking at a hit rate of about 15 kHz/cm$^2$ at the inner radius of the NSW, large area Micromegas quadruplets with 100 \microns spatial resolution per plane have been produced.

A low background Micromegas X-ray detector has been used to search for solar axions in the CAST experiment at CERN. The detector has an active area of 7cm times 7cm, excellent spatial resolution (~70nm), and good energy resolution. [...]

New large-size Micromegas detectors are being developed forthe future physics program of the COMPASS experiment at CERN. Thesedetectors will have a pixelised readout in their center to detectparticles in the beam region, where the particle flux can reachseveral MHz/cm2 in nominal conditions, and will have to handlehigh intensity hadron beams (up to a few 107 hadrons/s) with adischarge rate lower than 0.01 to 0.001 discharge/s.

An ageing study of resistive micromegas for the HL-LHC environment

Resistive-anode micromegas detectors are in development since several years, in an effort to solve the problem of sparks when working at high flux and high ionizing radiation like in the HL-LHC (up to ten times the luminosity of the LHC). They have been chosen as one of the technologies that will be part of the ATLAS New Small Wheel project (forward muon system). [...]

Performances and ageing study of resistive-anodes Micromegas detectors for HL-LHC environment
/ Jeanneau, Fabien (IRFU, SPP, Saclay) ; Alexopoulos, T. (Natl. Tech. U., Athens) ; Attie, D. (IRFU, SPP, Saclay) ; Boyer, M. (IRFU, SPP, Saclay) ; Derre, J. (IRFU, SPP, Saclay) ; Fanourakis, G.

With the tenfold luminosity increase envisaged at the HL-LHC, the background (photons, neutrons, ...) and the event pile-up probability are expected to increase in proportion in the different experiments, especially in the forward regions like, for instance, the muons chambers of the ATLAS detector. Detectors based on the Micromegas principle should be good alternatives for the detector upgrade in the HL-LHC framework because of a good spatial (<100 \mum) and time (few ns) resolutions, high-rate capability, radiation hardness, good robustness and the possibility to build large areas.
