Abstract

Gas Electron Multiplier gained its importance in recent years due to high efficiency and high event rate handling capabilities with good time and position resolutions. Here, we made a simulation study on stacks of 4-GEM to characterize the properties like gas gain, effective gain, collection efficiency, ion backflow, energy and position resolution using Garfield++ and ANSYS field solver. A systematic analysis is done on induced signal shape for various detector field configurations, and a preferable zone of operation for the detector is being discussed.
