A How-to Approach for a 3d Simulation of Charge Transfer Characteristics in a Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM)
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper a detailed description of how to simulate charge transfer processes in a gaseous device is presented, taking the Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) as an example. A 3-dimensional simulation of the electric field and avalanche is performed. Results on charge transport are compared to experiment and agree within experimental errors; avalanche mechanism and positive ion feedback are studied. The procedures used in the simulation are described in detail, and program scripts are appended.

متن کاملSingle photoelectron detection with a low-pressure gas electron multiplier coupled to a CsI photocathode
We have operated the Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) coupled to a CsI photocathode for the detection of single UV photons. Gains of up to 10 000 were observed with a single GEM in pure hydrocarbons in the range 40}400 Torr. Using a double-GEM structure, we have detected single photoelectrons on a strip electrode. We have studied the single-electron detection e$ciency of the GEM, a crucial paramet...
