Construction and performance study of the new Micro Pattern Gaseous Detectors for future upgrades of the CMS muon high rate region at the LHC

We have tested a new type position-sensitive gaseous proportional detector, called the Fast Timing Micropattern (FTM) detector, based on advanced printed circuit board technology, for fast timing applications. The construction feasibility has been demonstrated by building a first working prototype. We expect that this technique can be exploited for applications in high energy physics experiments, particularly for upgrades at LHC where sub nanosecond time resolutions are critical for particle identification and vertex separation. Other applications include X-ray diffraction studies and fast time-resolved measurements offer excellent medical imaging opportunities. In combination with an X-ray convertor and FTM and a visible photocathode shows great promise for use in digital mammography. Other applications include X-ray astronomy by exploiting time resolution of the FTM and selective sensitivity to soft X-rays.
