Construction and Performance of Large-Area Triple-GEM Prototypes for Future Upgrades of the CMS Forward Muon System
M. Tytgat, A. Marinov, N. Zaganidis +56
At present, part of the forward RPC muon system of the CMS detector at the CERN LHC remains uninstrumented in the high-ηregion. An international collaboration is investigating the…
Test beam results of the GE1/1 prototype for a future upgrade of the CMS high- muon system
D. Abbaneo, M. Abbrescia, C. Armagnaud +55
Gas Electron Multipliers (GEM) are an interesting technology under consideration for the future upgrade of the forward region of the CMS muon system, specifically in the $1.6<| η|<…
Characterization of GEM Detectors for Application in the CMS Muon Detection System
D. Abbaneo, S. Bally, H. Postema +26
The muon detection system of the Compact Muon Solenoid experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider is based on different technologies for muon tracking and triggering. In particul…
First results of spherical GEMs
Serge Duarte Pinto, Matteo Alfonsi, Ian Brock +7
We developed a method to make GEM foils with a spherical geometry. Tests of this procedure and with the resulting spherical GEMs are presented. Together with a spherical drift elec…
Progress on large area GEMs (VCI 2010)
Marco Villa, Serge Duarte Pinto, Matteo Alfonsi +7
The Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) manufacturing technique has recently evolved to allow the production of large area GEMs. A novel approach based on single mask photolithography el…
Spherical GEMs for parallax-free detectors
Serge Duarte Pinto, Matteo Alfonsi, Ian Brock +7
We developed a method to make GEM foils with a spherical geometry. Tests of this procedure and with the resulting spherical \textsc{gem}s are presented. Together with a spherical d…
