Description
The thick Gas Electron Multipliers (THGEM) is recent developments in gaseous hole-multipliers. The THGEM is cost-effectively fabricated from double-clad G-10 plates using standard printed-circuit board (PCB) techniques; it consists of mechanically drilled holes with chemically etched rims around each hole. THGEM is a simple and robust detector, with mill metric pixilation. Such devices may be produced to cover large area due to their mechanical robustness. The operation mechanism and properties of the single-THGEM fabricated in HFL, Hyderabad, India is described in. In this report, the different properties of double-THGEM in cascade mode operated with soft X-rays have been presented using pre-mixed Ar/CO2 (8:2) at atmospheric pressure where temperature and humidity were kept below 250 deg C and 65% respectively
