Abstract: Position sensitive gas proportional counters have been widely used in such fields as high energy physics, X-ray astronomy, medical science and industry. The recently developed micropattern gaseous detectors (MPGD) have demonstrated excellent performance. Various types of MPGD have recently emerged as very promising tools for several applications in many fields. A hole type gaseous multiplier represented by gas electron multiplier (GEM), capillary plate gas proportional counter (CGPC, CP) and MICROMEGAS is one of the most interesting and useful MPGD. The microstrip gas chamber (MSGC) was the first of the microstructure gas detectors. Recent achievements in the technologies have encouraged MPGD applications in a wide range of experiments and offer a great potential for the future. In this paper, we presented a short review of the MPGD with a focus on design principles, performance and operational experience.
