R. Bouclier et al., AGING OF MICROSTRIP GAS-CHAMBERS - PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section A, Accelerators, spectrometers, detectors and associated equipment, 381(2-3), 1996, pp. 289-319
The experimental setup and the procedures used for studying the long-t
erm behaviour of micro-strip gas chambers under sustained irradiation
are described in detail, The most significant measurements on ageing o
btained in a variety of conditions are reported, and a tentative inter
pretation of the results is presented. The relevance of these findings
for the conception, construction and use of MSGCs trackers in high lu
minosity LHC detectors is discussed.
