No-stretch assembly of triple GEMs Andrey Marinov On behalf of GEM Collaboration GEMs for CMS
Talk Outline • Technologies used for all the CMS prototypes • NS1 Prototype – 10x10cm • NS2 Prototype – 30x30cm • Future Plans L. Franconi - A. Marinov - M. Zientek
Assembly technologies used in CMS prototypes • Thermo stretching method • All CMS prototype s where build based on this method L. Franconi - A. Marinov - M. Zientek
“Honeycomb” GEM • Insert honeycomb spacers between GEM foils to avoid foil stretching • Similar performance level observed as for standard GEMs, but local efficiency losses due to spacers. L. Franconi - A. Marinov - M. Zientek
NS1 10x10cm Contact areas Protection resistors 10Mohms Holes for the Stretching pins L. Franconi - A. Marinov - M. Zientek
10x10 [NS2] prototype: New mechanics GEM foil with the protection resistors Read-Out board, bottom plane Read-Out board, top plane, connector Frame for stretching Assembledin 1 hour! Placing the foil Mounting the frame and stretching Stretched GEM foil Placing the Read-Out L. Franconi - A. Marinov - M. Zientek
GEM foil tests in CO2 have been done by applying HV to each GEM and measuring the current. Nothing suspicious has been found. The drift was also tested up to 3.5kV, measured current was constant0.3nA.
NS1 – 10x10cm Small prototype in the setup, connected to the gas. L. Franconi - A. Marinov - M. Zientek
NS2 30x30cm L. Franconi - A. Marinov - M. Zientek
GEM foil Holes for the stretching L. Franconi - A. Marinov - M. Zientek
Drift plane Pins for the HV connections L. Franconi - A. Marinov - M. Zientek
NS2 30x30cm Drift electrode and the external frame L. Franconi - A. Marinov - M. Zientek
NS2 30x30cm Triple GEM frame Ready for stretching L. Franconi - A. Marinov - M. Zientek
NS2 30x30cm Stretching the GEMs L. Franconi - A. Marinov - M. Zientek
NS2 30x30cm Stretched GEMs Waiting the readout PCB to be mounted L. Franconi - A. Marinov - M. Zientek
NS2 30x30cm Status • It is under test • Gain calibration • Gain stability • Uniformity L. Franconi - A. Marinov - M. Zientek
Future Plan • After validating NS2 we would like to go for NS3 with full GE1/1 size. • We need to see the possibility the build such a detector • Mechanics • HV • Readout • Gas • …. L. Franconi - A. Marinov - M. Zientek
