Gas-Related Studies on Triple-GEM Detector Operation

Gaseous detector performance significantly depends on the composition and stability of gas mixtures. Therefore, studies on gas composition are essential to ensure the long-term efficiency and safe operation of the detectors.

description Gaseous detector performance significantly depends on the composition and stability of gas mixtures. Therefore, studies on gas composition are essential to ensure the long-term efficiency and safe operation of the detectors. In particular, Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) detectors can be operated with a gas mixture of Ar/CO2/CF4 in fractions of 45/15/40. This ratio must be kept stable in order to guarantee reliable operation. At high levels of irradiation, the Freon gas molecules (CF4) can break into CF3 and F-, potentially damaging the detector. In this report, studies on triple-GEM gas composition variation are presented.
