/ Brunbauer, F M (CERN) ; Amedo, P (Santiago de Compostela U., IGFAE) ; Flöthner, K J (CERN ; Bonn U.) ; Gonzalez Diaz, D (Santiago de Compostela U., IGFAE) ; Janssens, D (CERN) ; Leardini, S (Santiago de Compostela U., IGFAE) ; Lisowska, M (CERN) ; Müller, H (CERN ; Bonn U.) ; Oliveri, E (CERN) ; Orlandini, G (CERN) et al.
Optical readout of micro-pattern gaseous detectors relies on recording scintillation light emitted during electron avalanche multiplication with imaging sensors of high-granularity pixelated readout. It can be used in applications such as optical Time Projection Chambers for track reconstruction, low material budget beam monitoring or radiography, to name but a few. [...]

Integration of the FastIC front-end electronics into the Picosec MicroMegas detector
/ Scharenberg, L (CERN) ; Alozy, J (CERN) ; Angelis, Y (Aristotle U., Thessaloniki) ; Aune, S (IRFU, Saclay) ; Ballabriga, R (CERN) ; Bortfeldt, J (Munich U.) ; Brunbauer, F (CERN) ; Brunoldi, M (Pavia U. ; INFN, Pavia) ; Campbell, M (CERN) ; Datta, J (SUNY, Stony Brook) et al.
The Picosec MicroMegas collaboration aims to develop gaseous fast-timing detectors; experimentally, intrinsic time resolutions from around 50ps to better than 20ps are obtained, depending on the exact detector configuration. Parts of developments focus on exploring various options of fast-timing multi-channel front-end electronics, to meet the data processing demands of experimental applications. [...]

The Ultra-Low material budget GEM based TPC for tracking with VMM3a readout
/ Garcia, F. (Helsinki U.) ; Flöthner, K.J. (CERN ; Bonn U., HISKP) ; Amato, A. (PSI, Villigen) ; Biswas, S. (PSI, Villigen) ; Brunbauer, F.M. (CERN) ; Heiss, M.W. (PSI, Villigen) ; Janka, G. (PSI, Villigen) ; Janssens, D. (CERN) ; Lisowska, M. (CERN ; U. Paris-Saclay) ; Meurer, M. (CERN ; Munich U.) et al.
The Gaseous Electron Multiplier-based Time Projection Chamber (GEM-TPC) in TWIN configuration for particle tracking has been consolidated after extensive investigations in different facilities to study its tracking performance. The most attractive feature of this detector is its ultra-low material budget, which is 0.28% X/X$_0$ and can be further reduced by decreasing the thickness of the gas traversed by the incident particles.

Application of the VMM3a/SRS: A t0-less TWIN GEM-based TPC
/ Flöthner, K.J. (CERN ; Bonn U., HISKP) ; Garcia, F. (Helsinki U.) ; Oberhauser, B. (PSI, Villigen ; Zurich, ETH) ; Brunbauer, F. (CERN) ; Heiss, M.W. (PSI, Villigen) ; Janssens, D.

Integrating the ATLAS/BNL VMM3a ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) into the RD51/SRS (Scalable Readout System) provides a self-triggered continuous readout system for various gaseous detectors. Since the system allows flexible parameters, such as switching the polarity, adjusting electronics gain or different peaking times, the settings can be adjusted for a wide range of detectors. [...]

PICOSEC Micromegas (MM) is a precise timing gaseous detector based on a Cherenkov radiator coupled with a semi-transparent photocathode and an MM amplifying structure. The detector conceprt was successfully demonstrated through a single-channel prototype, achieving sub-25 ps time resolution with Minimum Ionizing Particles (MIPs). [...]

Towards MPGDs with embedded pixel ASICs
/ Scharenberg, L. (CERN) ; Alozy, J. (CERN) ; Billereau, W. (CERN) ; Brunbauer, F. (CERN) ; Campbell, M. (CERN) ; Carbonez, P. (CERN) ; Flöthner, K.J. (CERN ; Bonn U., HISKP) ; Garcia, F. (Helsinki Inst. of Phys.) ; Garcia-Tejedor, A. (CERN) ; Genetay, T. (CERN) et al.
Combining gaseous detectors with a high-granularity pixelated charge readout enables experimental applications which otherwise could not be achieved. This includes high-resolution tracking of low-energetic particles, requiring ultra-low material budget, X-ray polarimetry at low energies ($\lessapprox$ 2 keV) or rare-event searches which profit from event selection based on geometrical parameters.

The PICOSEC-Micromegas (PICOSEC-MM) detector is a novel gaseous detector designed for precise timing resolution in experimental measurements. It eliminates time jitter from charged particles in ionization gaps by using extreme UV Cherenkov light emitted in a crystal, detected by a Micromegas photodetector with an appropriate photocathode.
