Abstract

Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) is a cutting edge Micro Pattern Gaseous detector (MPGD) technology suitable as tracking device in high rate Heavy-Ion (HI) experiments for their good spatial resolution and most importantly high rate handling capability. The performance studies including the detector efficiency, gain, energy resolution and also the stability study under high radiation are most important aspects, to be investigated before using the detector in any experiment. In this work, all of the above mentioned aspects are investigated using a 55Fe X-ray source for a single mask triple GEM chamber prototype operated with premixed Argon/CO2 (Ar/CO2) gas mixture in 70/30 volume ratio. In this article, particularly the stability in efficiency using a radioactive source is discussed in detail.
