Secondary Emission Detector Modules for High Energy Physics Experiments

The objectives of this Phase I SBIR project and the corresponding work plan consisted of detector geometry simulations and functional studies of pre-prototypes for both venetian-blind type and MEMS type. Modifications and improvements to the vacuum test station and data acquisition were also made throughout the project. In the final stages of this Phase I, we were able to do initial testing of devices built and we provide in this report the results of these measurements and all corresponding conclusions.
