Abstract
With the advancement of the accelerator systems and the requirements of high luminosity particle beams to reach different physics goals, detectors with good position resolution and high rate handling capability have become essential for designing any High Energy Physics (HEP) experiments. The Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) detectors are widely used in many HEP experiments as a tracking device because of their good spatial resolution and rate handling capability.The presence of the dielectric medium inside the active volume of the GEM detector changes its behaviour when exposed to external radiation. This mechanism is commonly referred as the charging-up effect. In this article, the effect of the charging-up phenomenon and the initial polarisation effect of the dielectric on the gain of the chamber are reported for a single mask triple GEM chamber with Ar/CO2 gas mixture.
