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 3.52 Event rate = 56/sec
1028 3.52 No source. Event rate = 10.4 /sec. So maximum GEM efficiency is 81.4%.
1029 3.52
1030 3.56
1031 3.47
1032 3.47 Low voltage on preamp = 5.0V
1033 3.53
