Victor Clarizio Canelon - Characterization of new MPGD Prototypes for Application in Future Hadronic Calorimeters

About

Hola! My name is Victor Clarizio, 29 years old and currently I'm finishing my Masters Degree in cosmic rays and high energy physics at the *Universidad Central de Venezuela* in Caracas, Venezuela. Also, I've been a lecturer at the very same university for about one year now. I like to go hiking, love to take pictures and sketch/paint, play football whenever I'm able to, and many other things! I feel honored to be here and to be part of CERN, and I will always treasure this enriching experience.

**My project at CERN as Summer Student:**

As part of the upcoming gaseous detector technologies, one that stands out from the rest are the Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) detectors due to its versatility with most of gas fillings (including noble gases), proportional gains above 105, micrometric space resolution, typical energy resolution 18% FWHM at 5.9keV, low cost and robust technology. This presentation contains my work experience regarding the activities as a Non-Member State Summer Student from June, 16th to August, 8th 2025 working in the Gas Detector Development Lab (GDD) at CERN. Over the course of these weeks, I had a hands-on-work experience working on the assembly of MPGD prototypes and set up of a cosmic stand using a triple-GEM detector, alongside my direct supervisor Anna Stamerra and the rest of the team. At the end of the program, I gained invaluable researching experience and skills on experimental physics, instrumentation and data analysis applied to gaseous detectors and MPGD technologies..
