Description
In perspective of an upgrade of the CMS Experiment, the GEM for CMS collaboration is performing feasibility studies on employing Triple-GEM detectors for the high-eta region (1.6-2.4) of the CMS Endcap, which is currently not instrumented. A detailed review of the development and characterization of the CMS full-size prototypes baseline detector will be presented. GEMs have excellent spatial and time resolution, high rate capability, and radiation hardness, they are an appealing option for simultaneously enhancing muon tracking and triggering capabilities in this region. The GEMs for CMS collaboration has studied the performance of small and full-size prototype detectors during several test beam campaigns in order to prove compliance to the CMS requirements. Results from measurements with x-rays and from test beam campaigns at the CERN SPS will be shown for the small and large prototypes.
