Description

We recently developed a Glass GEM (G-GEM), and it exhibited a superior performance compared with other gaseous detectors. We are currently developing a G-GEM with a single-sided guard ring structure, in order to improve its spark tolerance. In this research, we compared its performance with that of a conventional hole structure. The single-sided guard-ring structure has shown strong polarity when it was operated upside down, however, the similar output pulse shapes were observed for both cases. The gain curves were consistent with simulation results. The energy resolutions were also compared
