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.

Spatial resolution studies using point spread function extraction in optically read out Micromegas and GEM detectors
/ Cools, A. (IRFU, Saclay) ; Ferrer-Ribas, E. (IRFU, Saclay) ; Papaevangelou, T. (IRFU, Saclay) ; Pollacco, E.C. (IRFU, Saclay) ; Lisowska, M. (CERN) ; Brunbauer, F.M. (CERN) ; Oliveri, E. (CERN) ; Iguaz, F.J. (SOLEIL, Saint-Aubin)
Optically read out gaseous detectors are used in track reconstruction and imaging applications requiring high granularity images. Among resolution-determining factors, the amplification stage plays a crucial role and optimisations of detector geometry are pursued to maximise spatial resolution. [...]

Photocathode characterisation for robust PICOSEC Micromegas precise-timing detectors
/ Lisowska, M. (CERN ; IRFU, Saclay) ; Aleksan, R. (IRFU, Saclay) ; Angelis, Y. (Aristotle U., Thessaloniki) ; Aune, S. (IRFU, Saclay) ; Bortfeldt, J. (Munich U.) ; Brunbauer, F.

The PICOSEC Micromegas detector is a~precise-timing gaseous detector based on a~Cherenkov radiator coupled with a~semi-transparent photocathode and a~Micromegas amplifying structure, targeting a~time resolution of tens of picoseconds for minimum ionising particles. Initial single-pad prototypes have demonstrated a~time resolution below 25 ps, prompting ongoing developments to adapt the concept for High Energy Physics applications, where sub-nanosecond precision is essential for event separation, improved track reconstruction and particle identification.

The PICOSEC Micromegas (MM) detector is a precise timing gaseous detector based on a MM detector operating in a two-stage amplification mode and a Cherenkov radiator. Prototypes equipped with cesium iodide (CsI) photocathodes have shown promising time resolutions as precise as 24 picoseconds (ps) for Minimum Ionizing Particles. [...]

Spatial resolution improvements with finer-pitch GEMs
/ Flöthner, K.J. (CERN ; Bonn U., HISKP) ; Scharenberg, L. (CERN) ; Brask, A. (Aarhus U. (main) ; CERN) ; Brunbauer, F. (CERN) ; Garcia, F. (Helsinki Inst. of Phys.) ; Janssens, D. (CERN) ; Ketzer, B. (Bonn U., HISKP) ; Lisowska, M. (CERN ; U. Paris-Saclay) ; Muller, H. (CERN ; Bonn U.) ; Oliveri, E. (CERN) et al.
Gas Electron Multipliers (GEMs) are used in many particle physics experiments, employing their 'standard' configuration with amplification holes of 140 um pitch in a hexagonal pattern. However, the collection of the charge cloud from the primary ionisation electrons from the drift region of the detector into the GEM holes affects the position information from the initial interacting particle.
