GEM Detector Shoji Uno KEK
Wire Chamber • Detector for charged tracks • Popular detector in the particle physics, like a Belle-CDC • Simple structure using thin wires
Electron Anode wire Gas amplification near anode wire • High electric field (>30kV/cm) can be obtained easily due to using thin wire (diameter ~0.03mm) • Energy of electron become higher for high electric field near wire. • Electron can produce another electron for ionization. • Number of electrons increases due to multi steps of this process. (gas amplification、 electric avalanche) • Gas gain up to ~105 can be obtained easily.
Recent gas chamber • Requirement • High incident rate • One wire covers wide region. • Wire spacing > ~1mm • Length >~10cm Need more space • Pure two-dimensional readout • Wire has some limitation due to straight wire LHCATLAS
New development • Development MPGD(MicroPattern Gasdetector) • Gas multiplication in high electric field with other than wire • 3 types • MSGC(MicroStripGasChamber) • MICROMEGAS(MicromeshGaseousDetector) • GEM(GasElectron Multiplier)
GEM (Gas Electron Multiplier) Double side flexible printed circuit board Electric field Hole diameter70mm Hole pitch140mm Thickness50mm Cu thickness5mm • Developed by F.Sauli (CERN) in 1997. • NIMA 386(1997)531

High counting capability ワイヤーチェンバー GEM
Application of GEM • Feature of GEM • Pure two-dimensional readout → Image • Multi-layer structure • Stable operation • Multi-conversion-layer(Neutral Charged) • High counting capability • GEM can be applied for many other fields, not only high energy physics.
X-ray detector X-ray absorption tomography Crystal structure analysis using X-ray
Photon sensor • Same function for photomultiplier • Usable in Magnetic field • Fine segmentation in readout • Cheap and Larger • Key issue is photo-electric surface in gas volume. • Under developement
