The Floating Strip Micromegas Detector

The book "The Floating Strip Micromegas Detector" offers a comprehensive analysis of a novel micro-pattern gas detector of the Micromegas type. It addresses the performance characterization of these detectors, which is based on both measurements and simulations. The author, Jonathan Bortfeldt, provides a detailed discussion of the analysis and reconstruction methods that are crucial for the precise and efficient detection of minimally ionizing particles in high background rate environments. The results demonstrate the excellent performance of these lightweight detectors, which could potentially enable real-time medical imaging during a patient's ion therapy. This specialized book is aimed at professionals and students in the fields of mathematics and natural sciences who are interested in modern detection technologies.
