Earlier we have developed and successfully tested a RICH detector prototype consisting in a CsI coated triple GEM operated in gas flushed mode In the given work, a modified version of this detector for a completely different application - fire safety- is presented. The detector operates in sealed mode and is combined with an optical system and a narrow band filter As a photosensitive element, a CsI photocathode coated with a thin layer of ethylferrocene was used. This detector is almost 1000 times more sensitive than the best commercial flame sensor; it has 100 times better time resolution and allows determining the location where the spark or flame appears

The GEM-based neutron detector has flourished in the past decade. However almost all the GEM-based neutron detectors work in the flow-gas mode, and the long-term performances of the detectors may be unstable due to the dynamic changes of atmospheric
pressure and ambient temperature. In this paper, a sealed ceramic GEM-based neutron detector was developed at China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS) and its sensitive area was 100 mm * 100 mm. The characterizations of the detector were presented and discussed, which included the plateau curve, the neutron beam profile, the neutron wavelength spectrum, the spatial resolution (FWHM: 2.77 mm), the two-dimensional (2D) imaging ability, the neutron detection efficiency and the counting rate instability (Relative Standard Deviation (RSD): 0.7%). The results show that the detector has good performances in sealed mode, and it can be used for the measurement of the direct neutron beam at CSNS.
A gas electron multiplier (GEM) detector with a gadolinium cathode has been developed to explore its potential application as a neutron detector. It consists of three standard-sized ($10times 10$ cm${}^{2}$) GEM foils and a thin gadolinium plate as t
he cathode, which is used as a neutron converter. The neutron detection efficiencies were measured for two different cathode setups and for two different drift gaps. The thermal neutron source at the Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science (KRISS) was used to measure the neutron detection efficiency. Based on the neutron flux measured by KRISS, the neutron detection efficiency of our gadolinium GEM detector was $4.630 pm 0.034(stat.) pm 0.279(syst.) %$.
A prototype Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) detector is under construction for medical imaging purposes. A single thick GEM of size 10x10 cm^2 is assembled inside a square shaped air-tight box which is made of Perspex glass. In order to ionize gas insi
de the drift field two types of voltage supplier circuits were fabricated, and array of 2x4 pads of each size 4x8 mm^2 were utilized for collecting avalanche charges. Preliminary testing results show that the circuit which produces high voltage and low current is better than that of low voltage and high current supplier circuit in terms of x-ray signal counting rates.
Cerenkov technology is often the optimal choice for particle identification in high energy particle collision applications. Typically, the most challenging regime is at high pseudorapidity (forward) where particle identification must perform well at
high high laboratory momenta. For the upcoming Electron Ion Collider (EIC), the physics goals require hadron ($pi$, K, p) identification up to $sim$~50 GeV/c. In this region Cerenkov Ring-Imaging is the most viable solution. ewline The speed of light in a radiator medium is inversely proportional to the refractive index. Hence, for PID reaching out to high momenta a small index of refraction is required. Unfortunately, the lowest indices of refraction also result in the lowest light yield ($frac{dN_gamma}{dx} propto sin^2{left(theta_C right)}$) driving up the radiator length and thereby the overall detector cost. In this paper we report on a successful test of a compact RICH detector (1 meter radiator) capable of delivering in excess of 10 photoelectrons per ring with a low index radiator gas ($CF_4$). The detector concept is a natural extension of the PHENIX HBD detector achieved by adding focusing capability at low wavelength and adequate gain for high efficiency detection of single-electron induced avalanches. Our results indicate that this technology is indeed a viable choice in the forward direction of the EIC. The setup and results are described within.
BESIII is a particle physics experiment located at the Institute of High-Energy Physics (BEPC-II) e+e- collider at IHEP in Beijing. The Italian collaboration is leading the effort for the development of a cylindrical GEM (CGEM) detector with analog r
eadout to upgrade the current inner drift chamber that is suffering early ageing due to the increase of the machine luminosity. Within the CGEM project, this work aims to perform full detector simulation for the optimisation of the tracker geometry and its operational parameters. The goal is achieved by means of three different, but well connected, studies: a background estimation, a simulation of the detection elements and the data analysis of a beam test. I participated to the construction of the cathode electrode, that was produced in Ferrara, helping during the assembling and manufacturing procedures. For the background studies and the detector simulation I took care both of the framework development and of the data analysis. Finally, I participated to installation and data taking of the beam test at CERN, and I was involved in the production of the reconstruction and analysis software. During and after the beam test I participated to the processing and analysis of the data.
