  1. Status of no-stretch no-spacer GEM assembly. The NS2 TechniqueMethod and experimental results Laura Franconi AndreyMarinov Rui de Oliveira On behalf of the GEMs for CMS Collaboration

  2. Older techniques • Thermal stretching and gluing. • Honeycomb method: The NS2 Technique

  3. NS1 and NS2 NS1 is relaying on the elastic properties of the periphery frame Readout PCB GEMs The screw is pushing the frame before the stretching. Drift Detector base Readout PCB The screw is pulling out the console GEMs Detector Base Drift The NS2 Technique

  4. First prototype: the NS1 (10x10)cm2 Gain up to 3·104 Good uniformity across the entire surface Good shape of the pulse height spectrum The NS2 Technique

  5. NS2 (30x30) cm2 • The (10x10) cm2 NS2 GEM detector gave excellent results in terms of • Gain • Uniformity across the chamber, indicating that the stretching is uniform on the whole surface • These results encouraged us to build the (30x30) cm2 triple GEM detector The NS2 Technique

  6. 30x30cm GEM detector based on NS2 technique A (30x30)cm2 GEM foil before stretching. The same foil after the stretching, already inserted in the detector’s frame. The NS2 Technique

  7. NS2 (30x30) cm2 – The frame The Read-out board with labels of the different sectors. Lengths of the different strips are indicated. Strip Pitch = 0.8 cm (in all the surface) Drift plane with the pins for the HV connections and a particular of the new Ceramic HV divider. The NS2 Technique

  8. NS2 (30x30) cm2 – Tests • Measurements of the (30x30) cm2 performed in all the sectors with 2 gas compositions: • Ar/CO2 (70/30) • Ar/CO2/CF4 (45/15/40) • Chamber irradiated with 8 keV X-rays gun • X-rays generator’s settings: 2mA, 20kV • Collimator diameter • 2 mm for counts, pulse height spectra, gain calibration and rate capability • 6 mm for gain stability The NS2 Technique

  9. Rate measurements The NS2 Technique

  10. Pulse Height Spectra The NS2 Technique

  11. Gain Calibrations Good overlap of the curves relative to different sectors in the same gas composition The NS2 Technique

  12. Gain Stabilities The NS2 Technique

  13. Rate Capability The NS2 Technique

  14. Rate Capability in Time The NS2 Technique

  15. Future Plan Producing NS2 GE1/1 CMS baseline detector The NS2 Technique

  16. Thank you The NS2 Technique
