Several spectrometer upgrades are planned for future phases of the AMBER (NA66) experiment
at CERN. Among these upgrades, the replacement of some aging Multi-Wire Proportional Chambers has
motivated a R&D program to develop a Micro-Pattern Gaseous Detector and its front-end
electronics. The results of testing the first small Micromegas prototype with the TIGER-based
front-end are presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
