“…The basic concept of MPGDs is to employ µm-resolution lithography to obtain zones with very large electric fields where gas gains of several orders of magnitude can be obtained. Pioneering devices in this field are the Micro Strip Gas Chamber (MSGC) [22], mimicking the structure of a multi-wire proportional chamber with metal strips deposited on an insulating layer, the MicroMega, where the ionization and the multiplication regions are separated by a micro-mesh electrode, and the Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) [23], where microscopic multiplication holes are lithographically etched in a metal-coated insulating foil. Variations and evolutions of these basic structures are under study by several groups.…”

Detectors are they eyes with which we observe the physics and explore new phenomena. The development of more performing detectors is essential for future physics discoveries and requires appropriate attention, funding, and recognition. In this paper the current trends in High Energy Physics detector research and development are reviewed. Since the topic is broader than the available space, figures are not included in the paper, but can be found in the references, whose main sources are the recent instrumentation conferences [1 -6].

MicroPattern Gas Detectors with pixel read-out are position-sensitive proportional counters obtained by coupling a gas amplifying stage, provided by a GEM detector, to a charge collection plane patterned with pixel electrodes. Advanced PCB techniques, offering typical feature size of the order of a few microns, are used to construct both stages of these detectors, which show high detection efficiency, excellent spatial resolution and fast charge collection. In this paper it is shown how the design of the read-out system can maximize the intrinsic performance of these devices for two practical implementations, in the field of X-Ray Astronomy and Plasma Imaging.
