Abstract :
A GEM-based detector system is being developed at VECC, Kolkata, to be used for muon tracking in the proposed Compressed Baryonic Experiment (CBM) at the upcoming FAIR facility at GSI, Darmstadt. We have built and successfully tested several multi-GEM prototypes with radioactive sources and cosmic muons. We report the details of the R&D at VECC in terms of fabrication, assembly and the subsequent tests of the prototype chambers.
