Studies for GEM "pad" readout
- Initial studies (Oct 28, 2011)
- General Setup: 90Sr source with scintillator below the GEM as the trigger. Threshold on the scintillator is 40mV. The GEM is a "pad" readout with one preamp. The gas for GEM is Ar/CO2 at 75/25 mixture.
- DAQ is using the flash ADC with GEM in Chan 1 and Scintillator in Chan 2.
Run Number | GEM HV | Comment |
---|---|---|
1025 | 3.4kV | Low voltage on preamp = 3.5V |
1026 | 3.52 | Scint signal was missing. Forgot to plug it back in after looking at scope. |
1027 | Event rate = 56/sec | |
1028 | No source. Event rate = 10.4 /sec. So maximum GEM efficiency is 81.4%. | |

1032 | Low voltage on preamp = 5.0V | |
