Abstract :
We describe systematic measurements, carried out with single and double GEM detectors with printed circuit read-out. The maximum safe operating gain has been measured at increasing radiation flux, and under exposure to heavily ionizing tracks. Detection efficiency, localization accuracy and cluster size have been measured in a minimum ionizing particle beam. With a suitably configured readout electrode, fast two-dimensional localization of radiation is demonstrated
