DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Diego Gonzalez Diaz (Universidad de Zaragoza)\nMicro
 -gap gaseous detectors are a high-end technological family capable of reac
 hing ultimate accuracy in the determination of energy (11%@5.9keV)\, time-
 of-flight (sub-50ps@ionizing radiation) and position (20um@ionizing radiat
 ion)\, depending on the architecture (micro-megas or multi-gap) and electr
 onics of choice (charge or broad-band current sensing). The performance/co
 st figure of these solutions for the detection of X-rays or ionizing radia
 tion remains unrivaled over large areas (1m2- 1000's m2). Concerning issue
 s like time and position accuracy or radio-purity they actually represent 
 the state of art of nowadays technology in many fields of application. For
  rare event searches (e.g. dark matter\, neutrino-less double beta decay)\
 , the combined performance (energy and position accuracy\, low workable th
 reshold below 0.5keV\, radio-purity) makes them an extremely promising tec
 hnology\, that has been for instance at the birth of the EU-funded TREX-pr
 oject currently ongoing in Zaragoza University.\n\nWe will present results
  from a number of micro-gap architectures\, developed in partnership with 
 several international centers\, obtained at the recently built lab at the 
 Faculty of Science of the University of Zaragoza. In particular\, we will 
 focus on developments towards CAST(CERN)\, NEXT(Canfranc LSC)\, aimed at u
 ltimate energy and position resolution\, and sensor radiopurity. Recent de
 velopments on Radon monitoring and prospects for time resolution will be a
 lso summarized.\n\nhttps://indico.ific.uv.es/event/744/contributions/8747/
