Gas Electron Multipliers for the Antiproton Decelerator

The new beam profile measurement for the Antiproton Decelerator (AD) at CERN is based on a single Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) with a 2D readout structure. This detector is very light (~0.4% X0), and measures horizontal and vertical profiles directly in one plane. This overcomes the problems previo...

description The new beam profile measurement for the Antiproton Decelerator (AD) at CERN is based on a single Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) with a 2D readout structure. This detector is very light (~0.4% X0), and measures horizontal and vertical profiles directly in one plane. This overcomes the problems previously encountered with multi-wire proportional chambers for the same purpose, where beam interactions with the detector severely affect the obtained profiles. A prototype was installed and successfully tested in late 2010, with another five detectors now installed in the ASACUSA and AEGIS beam lines. This paper will provide a detailed description of the detector and discuss the results obtained.
