Abstract

The operation of a double GEM and a triple gas electron multiplier (GEM) was examined in several gas mixtures, including Ar/Isobutane, Ar/CO₂, and Ar/N₂. In the double GEM and the triple GEM detectors, large gains of about 5 × 10⁴ and 6 × 10⁵, respectively, were obtained for the Ar/Isobutane mixture. The optimum value of the transfer field and the dependence of the collection current on the drift, transfer, and collection field strengths for the GEM voltage sharing in the double GEM are discussed. A lower operation voltage and gain limit are also reported for the case of a triple GEM.
