The XYU-GEM: Ambiguity-free coordinate readout of the Gas Electron Multiplier
Résumé
We describe the development of a position-sensitive Gas Electron Multiplier detector prototype, providing for each ionizing event three coordinates: the cartesian X and Y, and U at . Simultaneous recording of the three projections permits ambiguity-free reconstruction of multiple tracks, and aims at operation in very high intensity radiation fields.
