Conducted by Daojin Hong on behalf of USTC MPG Group, this R&D focuses on RWELL detectors, a promising technology for the SoLID tracker detector. Motivated by GEM requirements, the RWELL detector offers advantages like simplicity, compactness, low mass, and discharge suppression. The use of Diamond-like Carbon (DLC) as a resistive layer enhances stability and resistivity. The deposition procedure involves magnetron sputtering on a Kapton substrate. Overall, these developments showcase significant progress in the field of particle detection and electronics.
