Abstract
In this thesis a novel discharge tolerant Micromegas type is developed and investigated in depth. The detector is denoted as floating strip Micromegas. In the following chapter currently used Micromegas designs are shortly discussed and the underlying idea behind the floating strip principle is introduced. The behavior of floating strip Micromegas under discharges, induced by strongly ionizing particles, is discussed. Several detectors have been constructed, built, commissioned and tested in the context of this thesis, their setup is described.
