The setup. Future: Cherenkov counter for high momentum muons (~min-1) Set up: § Detector: double GEM (10 x 10 cm 2) + PCB § Cosmic trigger: 3 layer plastic scintillators + Cherenkov counter (in near future) Electric scheme § Two HV power supplies for more flexibility § Cathode readout
“Electron” Trigger • Design almost complete • Manufacturing and order underway
Cosmic ray signals in Ar/CO 2 70 -30 VGEM = 450 V E d = 2. 0 k. V cm – 1 E E i = 4. 5 k. V cm – 1 t = 4. 0 k. V cm – 1 S. Bachman et al. NIM 438 A (1999) 376 Gain: 4 x 104
Status & plans: Basic equipment to work with GEM is ready: Cosmic trigger, sources Electronics Gas system Missing: mass flow meters for gas mixture, monochromator Double GEM detector is working at the WIS in Ar/CO 2 Gain 4. 5· 104 achieved and is consistent with measured at CERN Trip rate under studies Immediate plans: learn to operate GEM under known conditions: Gain vs. VGEM Gain vs. Etransfer , Einduction Better front end electronics & box to reduce gain Next step: move to CF 4 Gain, voltages, trip rates Aging
