Abstract
- In this paper, the design and the performance of two prototype detectors based on Micromegas technology with a pad readout geometry are discussed. In addition, two alternative implementations of a spark-resistant protection layer on top of the readout pads have been tested to optimize the charge-up behavior of the detector under high rates. The readout structure of the prototype detectors consists of 500 pads with a size of 5×4 mm 2 , individually connected to one independent readout channel, and covers an active area of 10 × 10 cm 2 . The design of these prototypes and its associated readout infrastructure was developed in such a way that it can be easily adapted for large-scale detector concepts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
