Advances in the development of micropattern gaseous detectors with resistive electrodes

摘要

The aim of this paper is to highlight very promising developments of a new family of micropattern gaseous detectors characterized by the presence in their layout of at least one resistive electrode. These novel detectors combine in one design the best features of RPCs (i.e. the protection against sparks) and conventional micropattern gaseous detectors (i.e. the high granularity and space resolution).
