Abstract

Abstract : The introduction of resistive elements in gaseous detectors was a real breakthrough, since it provided these devices with spark protection and long term stability. Though, it added a limitation on the maximum flux of particles that can be measured without efficiency loss, and this is of major relevance both for the operation of the experiments at the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider, and for the design of the detection systems at the next generation of accelerators. Therefore, in this context, understanding how to optimize rate capability without losing other benefits will be of paramount importance. Here, a mathematical model able to describe the complex processes taking place in gaseous detectors operating at high rate is described, and compared with some results about rate capability. Also the implications of the insights gained during this study on the design of the future generation experiments featuring gaseous detectors will be discussed.
