Characterization and Commissioning of a Triple-GEM Detector
We present in detail the characterization and commissioning of a triple Gas Electron Multiplier (triple-GEM)detector. The response to various sources of radiation was studied, and its efficiency, gain, energy resolution,and temporal resolution were calculated. We found an energy resolution of 19.5%,...

| description | We present in detail the characterization and commissioning of a triple Gas Electron Multiplier (triple-GEM)detector. The response to various sources of radiation was studied, and its efficiency, gain, energy resolution,and temporal resolution were calculated. We found an energy resolution of 19.5%, a temporal resolution of40 ns., and a maximum gain of 5×106. We conclude that the detector can be confidently used in furtherstudies of medical dosimetry, since it is working in the proportional mode. |

Se presenta en detalle la caracterización y la puesta en funcionamieento de un detector triple multiplicadorde electrones gaseoso (triple-GEM). Se estudió la respuesta a varias fuentes de radiación, y se calculó sueficiencia, ganancia, resolución energética y resolución temporal. Se encontró una resolución energética de19.5%, una resolución temporal de 40 ns. y una ganancia máxima de 5×106. Concluímos que el detectorpuede ser utilizado con confianza en estudios futuros sobre dosimetría médica, ya que su funcionamientocae dentro de la región proporcional.
