ABSTRACT
Recent
years, we have seen the development of many fields of gas detectors.
The MICROMEGAS (Micro-Mesh Gas Structure) appeared as the very promising
detectors. It is major families of position detectors in High Energy
Physics. This work is done in normal (NTP) based gas mixtures: neon are
noble gas and isobutane and DME (dimethyl-ether) as moderators gas
(quenchers), using 55Fe as a radiation source (X-ray 5.9 keV). To
address the modeling of MICROMEGAS detector, a descriptive model of
different physical and geometrical phenomena MICROMEGAS was established
by developing a simulation program to spreading the detector response.
After, an analytical cal-culation of the potential and the electric
field distributions has been presented briefly, to estimate better
electrical and geometric configuration. Finally, simulation results of
electrical signals based gas mixtures (Neon-isobutane, Neon-DME)
produced by MICROMEGAS were presented and analyzed in the order to
improve the MICROMEGAS performance (spatial (12 μm) and temporal (0.7
ns) resolutions).
