Defense of Doctoral Thesis “Development of large Micromegas reading plans for experiments to search for unlikely events”, Héctor Mirallas
Abstract: The use of TPCs (Time Projection Chambers) in particle physics experiments has been growing since their invention, and with it the development of their reading planes, reaching sizes equivalent to buildings. But its use in what are usually called unlikely event experiments has been more recent. This thesis focuses on charge reading planes for
