RD51 collaboration was founded in April 2008 to coordinate and facilitate the development of micropattern gaseous detectors (MPGDs). 59 institutes from 20 countries bundled their effort, experience and resources to develop these emerging micropattern technologies. MPGDs are already employed in several nuclear and high-energy physics experiments, medical imaging instruments and photodetection applications; many further applications are foreseen. They outperform traditional wire chambers in terms of rate capability, time and position resolution, granularity, stability and radiation hardness. One of the most challenging goals is the possibility to realize large area MPGDs (in particular GEMs, ThickGEMs and Micromegas) for future experiments and possible LHC upgrades. In order to achieve this goal new MPGDs production techniques are being studied

Abstract
RD51 collaboration was founded in April 2008 to coordinate and facilitate the development of micropattern gaseous detectors (MPGDs). 59 institutes from 20 countries bundled their effort, experience and resources to develop these emerging micropattern technologies. MPGDs are already employed in several nuclear and high-energy physics experiments, medical imaging instruments and photodetection applications; many further applications are foreseen. They outperform traditional wire chambers in terms of rate capability, time and position resolution, granularity, stability and radiation hardness. One of the most challenging goals is the possibility to realize large area MPGDs (in particular GEMs, ThickGEMs and Micromegas) for future experiments and possible LHC upgrades. In order to achieve this goal new MPGDs production techniques are being studied
