Abstract
We report on the optical readout of the gas electron multiplier (GEM) operated with a gaseous mixture suitable for the detection of thermal neutrons: 3He–CF4. A CCD system operating in the 400–1000 nm band was used to collect the light. Spectroscopic data on the visible and NIR scintillation of He–CF4 are presented. Images of the tracks of the proton and triton recorded with a triple GEM detector are also shown.
