Abstract

THick Gas Electron Multipliers (THGEMs) are robust and high gain Micro Pattern Gaseous Detectors which are economically manufactured by standard drilling and etching of thin printed circuit boards. In this paper, we present our recent simulation as well as experimental studies on THGEMs which have been fabricated in India using local expertise. Two types of THGEMs have been fabricated; one set has holes without any external rim and another set has holes with rims. These detectors have been characterized using argon-carbon dioxide and argon-isobutane gas mixtures. Electron transmission, effective gain, energy resolution, optimized working range and charging up studies have been presented for both the sets of THGEMs.
