Abstract:
This note reviews the aging mechanisms of gaseous detectors and presents the long-term validation strategies used for the LHC gas detectors and their gas systems. The effect on the detector lifetime of some parameters used in controlled laboratory tests is discussed. An R&D; strategy for the validation of new gas detectors technologies (micro-pattern gas detectors) is finally suggested.
