  • Abstract
    We investigate the gas gain behaviour of a triple-GEM configuration in gas mixtures of argon, krypton and xenon with 10% and 30% of carbon dioxide at pressures between 1 and 3 bar. Since the signal widths affect the dead time behaviour of the detector we present signal length measurements to evaluate the use of the triple-GEM in time-resolved X-ray imaging.
