Advances in Thick GEM-like gaseous electron multipliers. Part II: low-pressure operation
C. K. Shalem, R. Chechik, A. Breskin +2
We present results on THGEM operation at low gas pressures, in the range 0.5-50 Torr. Gaseous gain up to 100000 was recorded at 10 Torr of Isobutane in a single multiplier element,…
Advances in Thick GEM-like gaseous electron multipliers. Part I: atmospheric pressure operation
C. Shalem, R. Chechik, A. Breskin +1
Thick GEM-like (THGEM) gaseous electron multipliers are made of standard printed-circuit board perforated with sub-millimeter diameter holes, etched at their rims. Effective gas mu…
Thick GEM-like multipliers - a simple solution for large area UV-RICH detectors
R. Chechik, A. Breskin, C. Shalem
We report on the properties of thick GEM-like (THGEM) electron multipliers made of 0.4 mm thick double-sided Cu-clad G-10 plates, perforated with a dense hexagonal array of 0.3 mm…
Thick GEM-like hole multipliers: properties and possible applications
R. Chechik, A. Breskin, C. Shalem +1
The properties of thick GEM-like (TGEM) gaseous electron multipliers, operated at 1-740 Torr are presented. They are made of a G-10 plate, perforated with millimeter-scale diameter…
