GEMs Semester Report and Background for new Research Students
نویسنده
چکیده
GEM detectors (Gaseous Electron Multiplier) are a type of MPD (micro pattern detector) that introduce a new standard in spatial resolution. They offer fast tracking because of the absence of an ion-tail, and the flexibility of a wide range readouts since the detection stage and amplification stages are completely separate. This makes GEM detectors suitable for many different types of experiments. We are constructing a triple GEM for Muon Tomography. Simulations in GEANT have shown that we can reconstruct the tracks of cosmic ray muons and distingush between scattering by dense nuclei versus light nuclei. Here we present the current progress of building a proof of concept detector.
