GTS – Garfield-based Triple-GEM Simulator

Test and characterization of a new Triple-GEM detector

In my thesis project, I provide a description of the entire process of materials preparation, assembly, testing, and characterization of several triple-GEM (Gas-Electron Multiplier) prototype detectors. GEM detectors represent one of the latest developments in a new style of gaseous particle detectors. They have become well-known and widely used. Improvements in foil production are important fo...

Development and performance of large scale triple GEM for CMS

Applications of triple GEM detectors beyond particle and nuclear

Micro-Pattern Gaseous Detectors (MPGD) have opened the way for the construction of detectors whose performance surpasses that of the previous generations in terms of spatial resolution, high-rate capability and increased radiation hardness. Led by the Micro-Mesh Gaseous Structure (Micromegas) and the Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM), some MPGDs are mature technologies used in a variety of experime...

A TPC with Triple-GEM Gas Amplification and TimePix Readout

We present measurements with a GEM based TPC prototypes and the TimePix CMOS ASIC as charge collecting anode. Tests with a small prototype were performed in a 5GeV electron beam at DESY. It is shown that the point resolution for short drift distances is better than 20 μm. The achieved time resolution is better than 10 ns at 100MHz clock frequency. Furthermore, experimental studies with an enlar...

0 A triple GEM detector with two dimensional readout

This is a reduced version for hep-ex, from which the large photographs have been omitted to keep it small in size.
