  13. Thick GEM (TGEM) goal: gain 〜 10 4 with stable operation 13

  14. What is TGEM ? Thick-GEM is …  cost-effectively fabricated from double-clad G10 plates, using standard printed circuit board (PCB) techniques  holes are mechanically drilled (and, if necessary, the hole’s rim is chemically etched to prevent discharges)  a robust, simple to manufacture, high-gain gaseous electron multiplier  easy to operate and feasible to cover large areas, compared to the standard foil GEM TGEM cross-section and drift line avalanche TGEM@RIKEN avalanche Drilled hole Rim 100 µ m 300 µ m thickness: 400µ m ∆ V GEM ∼ 1kV Garfield Simulation 14

  15. TGEM prototypes goal  gain 〜 10 4 @ P10, NTP (double TGEMs)  stabile operation for a month, with gain fluctuation within ~a few ten % for a month & a few % for a day many groups have reported TGEMs work successfully, but actually it’s NOT so easy to operate TGEM with high gain stably!  they use small TGEMs, e.g. ~3x3cm 2  most of them don’t discuss stability of TGEM We have studied basic TGEM behavior and performance. 15

  24. C-electrode TGEM  To avoid the effects of rims, we are developing a new resistive-electrode TGEM (RETGEM ) which has electrodes coated with graphite paint .  RETGEMs have an advantage of being fully spark-protected. ss[ µ m] Hol r[ µ m] m] Rim[ µ m] No. No. Electrod rode Ins nsul ulator Thickn kness[ Hole-diame meter[ Max g gain 8 C FR FR4 400 400 300 300 - over ov r 2×10 10 4 9 C FR4/U 4/UV 400 400 300 300 - - 10 10 C G10 400 400 300 300 - 〜 10 10 3 11 11 C CEM EM3 400 400 300 300 - ov over r 2×10 10 4 12 12 C FR FR4 600 600 300 300 - 〜 10 10 2 24
