An Inner Tracker for low-momentum electron-positron colliders: the micro-RWELL becomes cylindrical
Within the scope of EU project EURIZON, the LNF Detector Development Group and INFN-Fe have successfully completed the construction of a novel detector: a pioneering low-mass modular Inner Tracker developed for low-momentum electron-positron colliders, exploiting the innovative Cylindrical µ-RWELL (C-RWELL) technology.

On January 19, 2024, the Cryogenic Facility Service group at LNF completed the final operations, which lasted over a month, to cool down to 4 Kelvin and reignite a superconducting magnet with a diameter of three meters and a length of over two meters. The magnet had been previously used as part of the detector for the FINUDA experiment, which recorded electron-positron collisions in the early 2000s produced by the DAFNE accelerator.
