Beam Performance of Tracking Detectors with Industrially Produced GEM Foils
نویسندگان
چکیده
Three Gas-Electron-Multiplier tracking detectors with an active area of 10 cm × 10 cm and a two-dimensional, laseretched orthogonal strip readout have been tested extensively in particle beams at the Meson Test Beam Facility at Fermilab. These detectors used GEM foils produced by Tech-Etch, Inc. They showed an efficiency in excess of 95% and spatial resolution better than 70 μm. The influence of the angle of incidence of particles on efficiency and spatial resolution was studied in detail.

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...
متن کاملQuality control and beam test of GEM detectors for future upgrades of the CMS muon high rate region at the LHC
Gas Electron Multipliers (GEM) are a proven position sensitive gas detector technology which nowadays is becoming more widely used in High Energy Physics. GEMs offer an excellent spatial resolution and a high particle rate capability, with a close to 100% detection efficiency. In view of the high luminosity phase of the CERN Large Hadron Collider, these aforementioned features make GEMs suitabl...
متن کاملConstruction and Performance of a Micro-Pattern Stereo Detector with Two Gas Electron Multipliers
The construction of a micro-pattern gas detector of dimensions 40×10 cm is described. Two gas electron multiplier foils (GEM) provide the internal amplification stages. A twolayer readout structure was used, manufactured in the same technology as the GEM foils. The strips of each layer cross at an effective crossing angle of 6.7 degrees and have a 406μm pitch. The performance of the detector ha...

Performance of the triple-GEM detector with optimized 2-D readout in high intensity hadron beam. Abstract Multiple-GEM detectors are considered to be good candidates for tracking devices in experiments with high hadronic background. We present the results of the triple-GEM detectors beam test in a high intensity pion beam. The detectors had an optimized two-dimensional readout with minimized st...
