Micro Pattern Gas Detectors VCI- Vienna Conference on Instrumentation 2001 R.Bellazzini - INFN Pisa58 Conclusions The field of Micro Pattern Gas Detector is STILL showing great vitality and propulsion. Single stage and Multistage Devices showed suitable for tracking at high luminosity. Competition of solid state devices is becoming HARD, especially at hadron machines. Great potential as X-ray detectors. Coupling of distributed amplification structures (GEM,…) to separate, pixel read-out structures seems the most exciting perspective.
