Description

Triple-GEM chambers, so far used in the inner region of the first muon station at LHCb, are the ideal candidates to replace the MWPCs in the regions where, after the upgrade in 2018, the particle rate will be as high as 2MHz/cm2. In this work, the results of a study on the GEM efficiency and time performances are shown.
