  6. 14. Model of Electron Output Non-linearity
    Davide Pinci (INFN - Roma)
    10/8/25, 11:00 AM

    The CYGNO collaboration is developing a gaseous time projection chamber
    with optical readout of a triple-GEM stack for directional dark matter
    searches. While this technique provides detailed reconstruction of event
    topology, it requires operation at high gain of the amplification stage,
    where nonlinearities in the GEM response become significant. We present
    a model developed to describe...

  7. 31. Use of Oxygen in Drift Chamber: comparison with Garfield (remote)
    Fabrizio Cei
    10/8/25, 11:20 AM

    We examined the algorithm used in Garfield++ for computing the electron attachment in gaseous mixtures
    and we found that it can be corrected by hand to take into account the contributions of individual gases to
    the attachment mechanism. We applied the revised calculation to compute the electron attachment as a
    function of the electric field and compared the results with some experimental...

  8. 22. The modeling of rate effects in RPCs
    Dario Stocco (ETH Zürich)
    10/8/25, 11:40 AM

    Abstract:This work introduces Markov modelling to describe how resistive plate chambers (RPC) deteriorate under uniform background irradiation. The model works for high irradiation rates and arbitrary charge spectra. Applied to M. Abbrescia’s single-cell RPC model (RC circuit), it agrees with Monte Carlo simulations and can also describe RPCs with polarizable resistive layers and in two...
