3D simulation of charge transfer in a Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) and comparison to experiment
Creators
Description
A three-dimensional simulation of the electric field and avalanche propagation in a Gas Electron Multiplier is performed. Results on charge transport are compared to experiment and agree within experimental errors; avalanche mechanism and positive ion feedback are studied. The possibilities of single photon detection with full efficiency from internal photocathodes are investigated
