  • Abstract
    After operating pixel-MPGDs, we conclude that 1) a gas amplification factor higher than 1 k can be reached more easely with a Micromegas then with a single GEM, and 2) gas as detection material has essential advantages with respect to silicon. For this reason, Micromegas-like detectors should be considered to be applied in future tracking detectors.
