研究目的
Investigating the potential of a high resolution TPC based on optically readout GEM for applications in particle detection, including dark matter search and medical beam monitoring.
研究成果
The optical readout of a GEM-based TPC demonstrates high granularity, sensitivity, and good energy resolution, with promising potential for particle identification. Preliminary studies on dE/dx show very good particle discrimination capabilities.
研究不足
The study does not discuss the scalability of the detector to larger volumes or its performance under different environmental conditions.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study utilized a TPC with a 7 litre sensitive volume, equipped with a Triple GEM amplification stage optically readout. The gas scintillation mechanism was exploited for particle detection.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The detector was tested at the Frascati Beam Test Facility, exposing it to particles provided by an Am-Be source.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
The setup included an elliptical field cage, a semi-transparent cathode, three standard GEMs, and an optical system with a scientific CMOS sensor.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The detector's performance was evaluated in terms of space resolution and energy measurement precision. Particle identification was conducted using a simple PID algorithm based on dE/dx analysis.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
The analysis involved studying the distribution of light collected in slices of different widths and the distribution of residuals to the reconstructed tracks.
