Description
The characteristic studies of a Single Mask triple Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) detector of dimension 10$\times$10 cm$^{2}$ is carried out using Ar/CO$_{2}$ gas mixture in 70/30 volume ratio in continuous flow mode. A strong Fe$^{55}$ X-ray source is used for this work. The gain and energy resolution are studied from the 5.9 keV X-ray energy spectra. Conventional NIM electronics is used for detector biasing and data acquisition. The characteristic studies include the study of the effect of environmental parameters (temperature and pressure) on the gain and energy resolution of the prototype. After correcting the effects of temperature and pressure variation, the effect of relative humidity on the gain and energy resolution of the chamber is investigated. The details of the experimental setup, measurement methods and results will be presented.
