Status of the cylindrical-GEM project for the KLOE-2 inner tracker

The status of the R and D on the Cylindrical-GEM (CGEM) detector foreseen as inner tracker for KLOE-2, the upgrade of the KLOE experiment at the DAΦNEφ-factory, is presented. The R and D includes several activities: (i) the construction and complete characterization of the full-size CGEM prototype, equipped with 650μm pitch 1-D longitudinal strips; (ii) the study of the 2-D readout with XV patterned strips and operation in magnetic field (up to 1.5 T), performed with small planar prototypes in a dedicated test at the H4-SPS beam facility; (iii) the characterization of the single-mask GEM technology for the realization of large-area GEM foils.
