  23. Single Events @ DESY 2010 Test Clear hits But still noisy events x y E. Cisbani et al. – GEM Tracker @ JLab Hall A Electronics Firmware were not fully reliable (several misaligned events and channels) which makes the analysis quite difficult.

  24. CERN test (magnetic field effects) E. Cisbani et al. – GEM Tracker @ JLab Hall A Electronics firmware consolidated but No chance to take good data: lost the 40x50 prototype (GEM 2 short) due (likely) to improper operation of the HV system.
