Motivation 04/08/2014 APS April Meeting 2014, Savannah, Georgia - Vallary Bhopatkar 3  During the phase II upgrade process of CMS detector at CERN, we are planning to install large- area GEM detectors in the forward muon region.  This installation will help to restore redundancy for tracking and triggering in muon system.  GEM detector can sustain in high rate environment, provides precise tracking, which improves muon momentum resolution and helps to maintain the global muon trigger rate  The combination of GEM+CSC can provide an accurate measurement of the muon bending angle unaffected by multiple scattering, which can be used at the L1 trigger to reduce the soft muon rate.  Florida Tech is planning to contribute to this upgrade project by producing and commissioning approximately 40 detectors. We constructed a first large-area GE1/1 GEM detector and studied its characteristics at a test beam at Fermilab in Oct CMS Upgrade Source: Worshop-Intro-Asharma

Gas Electron Multiplier Detector  Micro Pattern Gas Detector (MPGD)  GEM foil is a kapton foil coated with copper on both sides that has an array of holes (typically 140µm pitch)  High voltage is applied across foils, which creates avalanche of electrons through holes  Provides good efficiency and spatial resolution Source: Source: F.: “Development of a gaseous detector based on Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) Technology Triple GEM configuration: Most popular and reliable 04/08/  Typical gas gain of 10 4 with gas mixture of Ar/CO 2 APS April Meeting 2014, Savannah, Georgia - Vallary Bhopatkar 140µm 70µm

Summary  The beam test at FNAL was successful as the performance of the GE1/1 prototype large area detector meets the expectation.  Detection efficiency of the detector is 97.8% in eta sector 5 and it is consistent with all other sectors.  Charge uniformity shows similar response for all three APV position.  Spatial resolution improves with high voltage and gives the best value when it reaches a plateau which corresponds to the efficiency plateau.  Spatial resolution at 3250V of eta sector 5 is (103 ± 1) μrad which is equivalent to 193 μm.  Future work:  Measure the spatial resolution of the other sectors of the GEM detector.  Measure eff. and res. with simulated binary-output electronics (as planned for CMS upgrade). 04/08/2014 APS April Meeting 2014, Savannah, Georgia - Vallary Bhopatkar 11
