Abstract

Test results of Gas Electron Multiplier coupled with a MSGC in October 1997 are described. Several studies have been realized in a beam of Minimum Ionizing Particles (100 GeV/c muons): signal-to-noise curves for different GEM amplifications and drift fields, spatial resolution, efficiency and cluster size. GEM acts as a simple added element with little disturbance of the system (on the electronics or no degradation of the spatial resolution).
