Beam test results of a wedge-shaped MSGC+GEM detector at CERN
Description
Test results of Gas Electron Multiplier coupled with a MSGC in October 1997 are described. Several studies have been realized in a beam of Minimum Ionizing Particles (100 GeV/c muons): signal-to-noise curves for different GEM amplifications and drift fields, spatial resolution, efficiency and cluster size. GEM acts as a simple added element with little disturbance of the system (on the electronics or no degradation of the spatial resolution)
