| Research Abstract |
The gas electron multiplicity of more than 100 thousands is necessary to detect the single electron by MPGDs. We have developed new Micro-Pixel Chamber with resistive cathode for that purpose. The cathode electrodes are made from high resistive material, and the signal can be read by separated readout by induced charges. The prototypes have been made and tested. The maximum gain was close to 70 thousands, and the spark proberbility is surplessed to 0.1% - 0.01% compared
with that of conventional Micro-Pixel Chambers. Additionally, we have improved the production process of the detector by using carbon sputtering for resistive cathodes. We have made new prototype which have 10cm x 10cm detection area and two dimensional imaging property.
