Abstract

The tagging system (TS) of the KEDR detector is designed for study of two-photon interactions on the VEPP-4M electron-positron collider. The upgrade of the TS was completed and 8 triple-GEM detectors were added to the system with a single detector sensitive area up to 250*100 mm2, a spatial resolution in the beam orbit plane close to 70 μm and a small angle stereo readout providing a resolution of around 200 μm in perpendicular direction. The triple-GEM detectors were included into the KEDR DAQ system, and since the beginning of the 2010-2011 season they have demonstrated stable operation at a gas gain of 20000–40000 and efficiency of 95–97%. The new detectors will allow performing background suppression and improving the energy resolution of the system.
