Abstract
In this paper, the design and the performance of two prototype detectors based on Micromegas technology with a pad readout geometry are discussed. In addition, two alternative implementations of a spark-resistant protection layer on top of the readout pads have been tested to optimize the charge-up behavior of the detector under high rates. The readout structure of the prototype detectors consists of 500 pads with a size of 5Ã4Â mm2, individually connected to one independent readout channel, and covers an active area of 10Ã10 cm2. The design of these prototypes and its associated readout infrastructure was developed in such a way that it can be easily adapted for large-scale detector concepts.
