The maximum gain was found to reach 5×103 and 2 × 105 for single and double THGEMs respectively, while the energy resolution for 5.9 keV X-rays varied from 18% to 28% for both single and double THGEM detectors of different hole sizes and thicknesses. Different combinations were also investigated of noble gases （argon, neon） mixed with a quantity of other gases （isobutane, methane） at atmospheric pressure.展开更多

文摘The gas gain and energy resolution of single and double THGEM detectors （5 cm×5 cm effective area） with mini-rims （rim less than 10 um） were studied. The maximum gain was found to reach 5×103 and 2 × 105 for single and double THGEMs respectively, while the energy resolution for 5.9 keV X-rays varied from 18% to 28% for both single and double THGEM detectors of different hole sizes and thicknesses.
